| 1 | Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said: |
| 2 | How long will ye lay snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak. |
| 3 | Wherefore are we counted as beasts, And reputed dull 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 over 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 overwhelm him on every side, And shall entrap him at his feet. |
| 12 | His trouble shall be ravenous, And calamity shall be ready for his fall. |
| 13 | It shall devour the members of his body, Yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members. |
| 14 | That wherein he trusteth shall be plucked out of his tent; 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 dry up beneath, And above shall his branch wither. |
| 17 | His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name abroad. |
| 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 in his dwellings. |
| 20 | They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before are affrighted. |
| 21 | Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God. |
