Job 18:7

Judgment

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.

His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.

8 For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.

9 A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
