Job 18:3-8 New English Translation (NET)

3. Why should we be regarded as beasts,and considered stupid in your sight?

4. You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger,will the earth be abandoned for your sake?Or will a rock be moved from its place?

5. “Yes, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished;his flame of fire does not shine.

6. The light in his tent grows dark;his lamp above him is extinguished.
