Job 18:4

Anger

2 “How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.

3 Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?

You who tear yourself in anger— should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?

5 Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.

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