## Job 18:5-12 in Context (Verses 2–15 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/job/18/2) How long *will it be ere* ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/job/18/3) Wherefore are we counted as beasts, *and* reputed vile in your sight?
 
 [4 ](/kjv/job/18/4) He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/job/18/5) Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/job/18/6) The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/job/18/7) The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/job/18/8) For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/job/18/9) The gin shall take *him* by the heel, *and* the robber shall prevail against him.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/job/18/10) The snare *is* laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/job/18/11) Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/job/18/12) His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction *shall be* ready at his side.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/job/18/13) It shall devour the strength of his skin: *even* the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/job/18/14) His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/job/18/15) It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because *it is* none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
 
[Job 17](/kjv/job/17) [Job 19](/kjv/job/19)
