1. Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2. How long will it be before you make an end of words? take note, and afterwards we will speak.
3. Why are we considered as beasts, and accounted vile in your sight?
4. He tears himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for you? and shall the rock be removed out of its 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 hindered, and his own counsel shall throw him down.
8. For he is brought into a net by his own feet, and he walks upon a snare.
9. The trap 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 suffer hunger, 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. Destruction shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is not 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 have neither son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20. Those who come after him shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21. Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that does not know God.
