Job 18:5-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. To be sure, the light of the wicked goes out;the blaze of their fire doesn’t shine.

6. The light in their tent becomes dark,and their lamp above doesn’t shine.

7. Their strong strides slow down;their plans trip themselves.

8. They are caught by their feet in a net;they walk on mesh.

9. A trap grabs them by the heel;a snare tightens on them.

10. A rope is hidden on the ground for them;a trap for them along the path.

11. Terrors round about scare them;they follow their steps.

12. Their offspring hunger;calamity is ready for their spouses.

13. It eats some of their skin.Death’s firstborn consumes their limbs.
