God's Word Translation

Job 18:2-10 God's Word Translation (GW)

2. “How long before your words will end?Think it through, and then we’ll talk.

3. Why do you think of us as cattle?Why are we considered stupid in your eyes?

4. Why do you rip yourself apart in anger?Should the earth be abandoned for your sakeor a boulder be dislodged?

5. “Indeed, the light of the wicked is snuffed out.The flame of his fire stops glowing.

6. The light in his tent becomes dark,and the lamp above him is snuffed out.

7. “His healthy stride is shortened,and his own planning trips him up.

8. His own feet get him tangled in a netas he walks around on its webbing.

9. A trap catches his heel.A snare holds him.

10. A rope is hidden on the ground for him.A trap is on his path ⌊to catch⌋ him.
