Job 18:9-18 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

14. They are snatched from the safety of their tent;it parades them before the king of terrors.

15. Nothing they own remains in their tent;sulfur is scattered over their home.

16. Their roots dry out below;their branches wither above.

17. The memory of them will perish from the earth;they will achieve no recognition abroad.

18. They are thrust from light into darkness,banished from the world.
