Chapter 18

1


 

  And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --  

 

 

-

2


 

  When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes!  

 

 

-

4


 

  (He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place?  

 

 

-

5


 

  Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire.  

 

 

-

6


 

  The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.  

 

 

-

8


 

  For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him -- at his feet.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side.  

 

 

-

13


 

  It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.  

 

 

-

15


 

  It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.  

 

 

-

16


 

  From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.  

 

 

-

17


 

  His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street.  

 

 

-

18


 

  They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.  

 

 

-

19


 

  He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.  

 

 

-

20


 

  At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Only these [are] tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known.
