Job 18

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?

Hear now, thou, that talkest of tearing thy flesh with thy teeth for indignation and sorrow, what, dost thou think that thy clamour and complaint can prevail to alter God’s just administration; so as the earth should be forsaken because thou speedest ill, and the rocks removed because thy misery continues!

Job 18:8

He is cast into a net by his own feet.

He shall, by his own plots and devices, run himself into inextricable perplexities and miseries.

Job 18:14

And it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

His confidence shall, at the last, lead him into the extremest of all terrors, that can be conceived.

Job 18:15

It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

Yea, this terror shall dwell and continue in his tabernacle, which, howsoever he possesseth, yet his conscience tells him is not his own, since he hath got it by extortion and violence; and God shall rain down brimstone upon it, as he did upon Sodom.

Job 18:16

His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branches be cut off.

He shall be like unto a withered tree, whose roots, when they are once dried up below, the branches are presently cut down for firewood.

Job 18:20

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

Posterity shall be astonished to hear of the severe judgment of God executed upon him; and those, that lived in the same age with him, were affrighted at the sight of that vengeance which was inflicted upon him.
