Iyov 18:3-9 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

3. Why are we counted as behemah (cattle), and reputed stupid in your sight?

4. Thou art he who teareth his nefesh in his anger; shall eretz (earth) be forsaken for thee? And shall the tzur be removed out of its place?

5. Yea, the ohr of the resha'im shall be put out, and the flame of his eish shall not burn.

6. The ohr shall be choshech in his ohel, and his ner (lamp) above him is extinguished.

7. The steps of his vigor shall be shortened, and his own etzah (counsel, scheme) shall cast him down.

8. For he is cast into a reshet by his own raglayim, and he walketh into a pitfall.

9. The pach (trap) shall take him by the akev (heel), and the snare shall prevail against him.
