Chapter 18

1


 

  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,  

 

 

-

2


 

  How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [And] are become unclean in your sight?  

 

 

-

4


 

  Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or 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 tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.  

 

 

-

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 the toils.  

 

 

-

9


 

  A gin shall take [him] by the heel, [And] a snare shall lay hold on him.  

 

 

-

10


 

  A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.  

 

 

-

12


 

  His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side.  

 

 

-

13


 

  The members of his body shall be devoured, [Yea], the first-born of death shall devour his members.  

 

 

-

14


 

  He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.  

 

 

-

15


 

  There shall dwell in his tent that which 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 have neither son nor son's son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.  

 

 

-

20


 

  They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
