Read in context

Job 18:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.

7 His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.

8 For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.

9 A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.

10 A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.
