Job 18:5-21 - What A Wicked Person Can Expect From Life

⁵ "Yes, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; his flame of fire does not shine. ⁶ The light in his tent grows dark; his lamp above him is extinguished. ⁷ His vigorous steps are restricted, and his own counsel throws him down. ⁸ For he has been thrown into a net by his feet and he wanders into a mesh. ⁹ A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare grips him. ¹⁰ A rope is hidden for him on the ground and a trap for him lies on the path. ¹¹ Terrors frighten him on all sides and dog his every step. ¹² Calamity is hungry for him, and misfortune is ready at his side. ¹³ It eats away parts of his skin; the most terrible death devours his limbs. ¹⁴ He is dragged from the security of his tent, and marched off to the king of terrors. ¹⁵ Fire resides in his tent; over his residence burning sulfur is scattered. ¹⁶ Below his roots dry up, and his branches wither above. ¹⁷ His memory perishes from the earth, he has no name in the land. ¹⁸ He is driven from light into darkness and is banished from the world. ¹⁹ He has neither children nor descendants among his people, no survivor in those places he once stayed. ²⁰ People of the west are appalled at his fate; people of the east are seized with horror, saying, ²¹ Surely such is the residence of an evil man; and this is the place of one who has not known God.'"
