New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 18
2 “How long before you stop talking? Speak sense if you want us to answer!
3 Do you think we are mere animals? Do you think we are stupid?
4 You may tear out your hair in anger, but will that destroy the earth? Will it make the rocks tremble?
5 “Surely the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. The sparks of their fire will not glow.
6 The light in their tent will grow dark. The lamp hanging above them will be quenched.
7 The confident stride of the wicked will be shortened. Their own schemes will be their downfall.
8 The wicked walk into a net. They fall into a pit.
9 A trap grabs them by the heel. A snare holds them tight.
10 A noose lies hidden on the ground. A rope is stretched across their path.
11 “Terrors surround the wicked and trouble them at every step.
12 Hunger depletes their strength, and calamity waits for them to stumble.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
