Be sensible, and then we can talk. 18:3 Why are we regarded as cattle and considered stupid in your sight? 18:4 You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake? Or must the rocks be moved from their place? 18:5 'The lamp of the wicked is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning. 18:6 The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out. 18:7 The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down. 18:8 His feet thrust him into a net and he wanders into its mesh. 18:9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast. 18:10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path. 18:11 Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step. 18:12 Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls. 18:13 It eats away parts of his skin; death's firstborn devours his limbs. 18:14 He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors. 18:15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling. 18:16 His roots dry up below and his branches wither above. 18:17 The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land. 18:18 He is driven from light into darkness and is banished from the world. 18:19 He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived. 18:20 Men of the west are appalled at his fate; men of the east are seized with horror. 18:21 Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who knows not God.'
