My days have passed by, My devices have been broken off, The possessions of my heart!

Night for day they appoint, Light [is] near because of darkness.

13

If I wait -- Sheol [is] my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch.

6

The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.

7

Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.

8

For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.

9

Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing.

10

Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.

11

Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him -- at his feet.

12

Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side.

13

It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born.

14

Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.

It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.

16

From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.

His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street.
