Job 18:10-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. A rope is hidden for him in the ground,a trap for him in the path.

11. Terrors frighten him on every side,and chase him at his heels.

12. His strength is famished,and calamity is ready for his stumbling.

13. It consumes the parts of his skin; the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.

14. He is torn from the tent in which he trustedand is brought to the king of terrors.

15. In his tent dwells that which is none of his; sulfur is scattered over his habitation.

16. His roots dry up beneath,and his branches wither above.

17. His memory perishes from the earth,and he has no name in the street.

18. He is thrust from light into darkness,and driven out of the world.

19. He has no posterity or progeny among his people,and no survivor where he used to live.

20. They of the west are appalled at his day,and horror seizes them of the east.
