Daily Meditation
5 Yea, the light of
the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
Today’s ReadingJob
Chapter 18
Driven From Light
Into Darkness
1 Then answered
Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long will it
be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. 3 Wherefore
are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? 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 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and
the spark of his fire shall not shine. 6 The light shall be dark in his
tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. 7 The steps of his
strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. 8 For he
is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9 The gin shall take
him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. 10 The snare is laid
for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. 11 Terrors shall make him
afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet. 12 His strength shall be
hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. 13 It shall devour
the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his
strength. 14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall
bring him to the king of terrors. 15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because
it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. 16 His
roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. 17 His
remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the
street. 18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the
world. 19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any
remaining in his dwellings.
20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted. 21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
