Job 18:4-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. You, who ruins your own soul in your fury, will the earth be forsaken because of you, and will the cliffs be moved from their place?

5. Will not the light of the impious be put out, and the flame of his fire refuse to shine?

6. Light will become darkness in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him will be extinguished.

7. His strong steps will be constrained, and his own counsel will cast him down uncontrollably.

8. For he has caused his own feet to go into a net, and he has walked into its web.

9. His heel will be held in a snare, and thirst will rage against him.

10. A trap has been hidden for him in the earth, and a decoy, along his path.

11. Horrifying things will terrify him everywhere and will entangle his feet.

12. Let his strength be diminished by famine, and let starvation invade his ribs.

13. Let it devour the beauty of his skin; let the ancient death consume his arms.
