Bible in Basic English
"The steps of his strength become short, and by his design destruction overtakes him."
— Job 18:7, Bible in Basic English
But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?
For the light of the sinner is put out, and the flame of his fire is not shining.
The light is dark in his tent, and the light shining over him is put out.
The steps of his strength become short, and by his design destruction overtakes him.
His feet take him into the net, and he goes walking into the cords.
His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip.
The twisted cord is put secretly in the earth to take him, and the cord is placed in his way.
