Verse | |
1. Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said | |
2. How long till you put an end to words? Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak. | |
3. Why are we counted as beasts, And regarded as stupid in your sight? | |
4. You who tear yourself in anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed from its place? | |
5. The light of the wicked indeed goes out, And the flame of his fire does not shine. | |
6. The light is dark in his tent, And his lamp beside him is put out. | |
7. The steps of his strength are shortened, And his own counsel casts him down. | |
8. For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walks into a snare. | |
9. The net takes him by the heel, And a snare lays hold of him. | |
10. A noose is hidden for him on the ground, And a trap for him in the road. | |
11. Terrors frighten him on every side, And drive him to his feet. | |
12. His strength is starved, And destruction is ready at his side. | |
13. It devours patches of his skin; The firstborn of death devours his limbs. | |
14. He is uprooted from the shelter of his tent, And they parade him before the king of terrors. | |
15. They dwell in his tent who are none of his; Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling. | |
16. His roots are dried out below, And his branch withers above. | |
17. The memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name among the renowned. | |
18. He is driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world. | |
19. He has neither son nor posterity among his people, Nor any remaining in his dwellings. | |
20. Those in the west are astonished at his day, As those in the east are frightened. | |
21. Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God." |
