| 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. |
