| Then Bildad the Shuhite answered: | Bildad. Jb.18.1-21 | ||
| "How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and then we will speak. | |||
| Why are we counted as cattle? Why are we stupid in your sight? | |||
| You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you, or the rock be removed out of its place? | |||
| "Yea, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine. | |||
| The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out. | |||
| His strong steps are shortened and his own schemes throw him down. | |||
| For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a pitfall. | |||
| A trap seizes him by the heel, a snare lays hold of him. | |||
| A rope is hid for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path. | |||
| Terrors frighten him on every side, and chase him at his heels. | |||
| His strength is hunger-bitten, and calamity is ready for his stumbling. | |||
| By disease his skin is consumed, the first-born of death consumes his limbs. | |||
| He is torn from the tent in which he trusted, and is brought to the king of terrors. | |||
| In his tent dwells that which is none of his; brimstone is scattered upon his habitation. | |||
| His roots dry up beneath, and his branches wither above. | |||
| His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street. | |||
| He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world. | |||
| He has no offspring or descendant among his people, and no survivor where he used to live. | |||
| They of the west are appalled at his day, and horror seizes them of the east. | |||
| Surelt such are the dwellings of the ungodly, such is the place of him who knows not god." | |||
