Job 18:8-19 American Standard Version (ASV)

8. For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils.

9. A gin shall take him by the heel, And a snare shall lay hold on him.

10. A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.

11. Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.

12. His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side.

13. The members of his body shall be devoured, Yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.

14. He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.

15. There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

16. His roots shall be dried up beneath, And above shall his branch be cut off.

17. His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street.

18. He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.

19. He shall have neither son nor son’s son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.
