Job 18:3-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

3. "Why are we regarded as beasts, As stupid in your eyes?

4. "O you who tear yourself in your anger- For your sake is the earth to be abandoned, Or the rock to be moved from its place?

5. "Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, And the flame of his fire gives no light.

6. "The light in his tent is darkened, And his lamp goes out above him.

7. "His vigorous stride is shortened, And his own scheme brings him down.

8. "For he is thrown into the net by his own feet, And he steps on the webbing.

9. "A snare seizes him by the heel, And a trap snaps shut on him.

10. "A noose for him is hidden in the ground, And a trap for him on the path.

11. "All around terrors frighten him, And harry him at every step.

12. "His strength is famished, And calamity is ready at his side.

13. "His skin is devoured by disease, The firstborn of death devours his limbs.
