| 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. |
