Job 18 — Douay-Rheims Bible

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:● How long will you throw out words? understand first, and so let us speak.● Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before you?● Thou that destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be removed out of their place?● Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine?● The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him, shall be put out.● The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong.● For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in its meshes.● The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him.● A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon the path.● Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle his feet.● Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs.● Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn death consume his arms.● Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let destruction tread upon him like a king.● Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent.● Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed above.● Let the memory of him perish from the earth, and let not his name be renowned in the streets.● He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall remove him out of the world.● His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people, nor any remnants in his country.● They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, and horror shall fall upon them that went before.● These then are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place of him that knoweth not God.●
