New International Reader's Version

Job 18:13-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. It eats away parts of their skin. Death itself feeds on their arms and legs.

14. They are torn away from the safety of their tents. They are marched off to the one who rules over death.

15. Fire races through their tents. Burning sulfur is scattered over their homes.

16. Their roots dry up under them. Their branches dry up above them.

17. No one on earth remembers them. Their names are forgotten in the land.

18. They are driven from light into darkness. They are thrown out of the world.

19. Their family dies out among their people. No one is left where they used to live.
