<>vv. 1-2, <>vv. 1-4

2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

<>vv. 1-2, <>vv. 1-4, <>How long will it be ere ye make an end of words?

3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

<>vv. 1-4

4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

<>vv. 1-4, <>He teareth himself in his anger, <>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.

<>vv. 5-6, <>v. 5

6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

<>vv. 5-6

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

<>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.

<>he is cast into a net by his own feet

10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

<>in the way

11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

<>Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, <>Terrors … 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.

<>the firstborn of death, <>firstborn, <>death

14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

<>His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, <>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.

<>perish, <>he shall have no name in the street

18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

<>He shall be driven from light into darkness, <>He shall be driven … into darkness

19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

<>He shall neither have son nor nephew, <>son

20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

<>his day

21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

<>such are the dwellings of the wicked, <>this is the place of him that knoweth not God
