JOB 18:1–18:21 ©

The Book of Job 18

18Then Bildad, Job’s friend from the Shuhite people group, responded to Job. He said,

2“Please stop talking!

If you would stop talking and listen, we could tell you something.

3You seem to think that we are as stupid as cattle.

4But by being so angry, you are only hurting yourself.

You seem to think that everyone should abandon the earth because life on earth is no longer worth living for anyone after what has happened to you.

You seem to think that there should be a great earthquake as a sign of what an awful thing has happened to you.

5But actually, what has happened to you is not momentous.

Wicked people are bound to lose their prosperity.

They will not continue to enjoy happiness.

6It will be as if the light went out in the tent in which they were living,

so that they could not enjoy living there.

7Wicked people become weaker because of the troubles they cause for themselves.

They try to take advantage of other people,

but they hurt themselves instead.

8Yes, it is as if they walk into a net that they do not realize is there

or fall into a pit that someone has concealed as a trap.

9It is as if their feet get caught in a trap

that does not let them go.

10It is as if a loop of rope that someone has hidden on the ground

springs up and seizes them when they walk onto it.

11Everywhere they go, things cause them to be terrified.

It is as if those things are pursuing them and biting at their heels.

12They will become weak, as if they did not have enough food to eat.

They will always be at risk of disaster.

13Diseases will spread all over their skin.

Yes, a horrible disease will cause their bodies to decay.

14They have a secure life, but it ends suddenly.

They die without being able to do anything to save their lives.

15Then all of their possessions will belong to other people.

Wicked people will have nothing left, as if God had burned up everything they had by making burning stones fall on it.

16They will be lifeless, like trees whose roots have dried up

and whose branches have all withered.

17No one on the earth will remember them anymore.

No, no one anywhere in the world will recall what they were like.

18Suddenly wicked people will die and no longer be alive.

They will no longer be able to live in this world.

19They will have no children or grandchildren living in their people group after they die.

They will have no descendants living where they previously lived.

20Anyone who hears about what happened to them

will be shocked.

21This is certainly what happens to unrighteous people.

Yes, this is what happens to people who do not honor God.”
