Sermons citing Job 18

^18:3 Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?

^18:4 You who tear yourself in anger—should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?

^18:5 Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.

^18:6 The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.

^18:7 His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.

^18:8 For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.

^18:9 A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.

^18:10 A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.

^18:11 Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.

^18:12 His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.

^18:13 It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.

^18:14 He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.

^18:15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.

^18:16 The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.

^18:17 The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.

^18:18 He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.

^18:19 He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.

^18:20 Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.

^18:21 Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”
