5 "The lamp of the wicked is snuffed out; 5 the flame of his fire stops burning.
6 The light in his tent becomes dark; 6 the lamp beside him goes out.
7 The vigor of his step is weakened; 7 his own schemes throw him down.
8 His feet thrust him into a net 8 and he wanders into its mesh.
9 A trap seizes him by the heel; 9 a snare holds him fast.
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground; 10 a trap lies in his path.
11 Terrors startle him on every side 11 and dog his every step.
12 Calamity is hungry for him; 12 disaster is ready for him when he falls.
13 It eats away parts of his skin; 13 death's firstborn devours his limbs.
14 He is torn from the security of his tent 14 and marched off to the king of terrors.
15 Fire resides[a] in his tent; 15 burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.
16 His roots dry up below 16 and his branches wither above.
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth; 17 he has no name in the land.
18 He is driven from light into darkness 18 and is banished from the world.
