| 18:6 | The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his |
The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished. |
| 18:7 | The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. | Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel. |
| 18:8 | For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. | For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually. |

Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path. |
| 18:11 | Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall |
Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him -- at his feet. |
| 18:12 | His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. | Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side. |
| 18:13 | It shall devour the |
It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born. |
| 18:14 | His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. | Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors. |
| 18:15 | It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. | It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur. |
| 18:16 | His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. | From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop. |
| 18:17 | His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. | His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street. |
| 18:18 | They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out. | |
| 18:19 | He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. | He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings. |
| 18:20 | They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that |
At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright. |
| 18:21 | Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. | Only these `are' tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known. |
