Job 18

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?s

5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.s7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.s

11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.s12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.s14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.s19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.ss21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Job 19

1 Then Job answered and said,2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.s4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.s

8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.s18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.s19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.s20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.s21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!s24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:s27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.sss28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?s29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

Job 20

1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.s3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?s6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;s7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.s11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:s14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.s18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.s19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;s20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.s21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.s22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.s

23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.s
