1 THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, | |
2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. | |
3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? | |
4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place? | |
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. | |
6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. | |
7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. | |
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. | |
9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. | |
10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. | |
11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet. | |
12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. | |
13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. | |
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. | |
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. | |
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. | |
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. | |
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. | |
19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. | |
20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted. | |
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. | |
