New International Reader's Version

Job 18:14-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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.

20. What has happened to them shocks the people in the west. It terrifies the people in the east.

21. Now you know what the homes of sinners are like. Those who don't know God live in places like that."
