| 18:1 |
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
|
| 18:2 |
How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
|
| 18:3 |
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [And] are become unclean in your sight?
|
| 18:4 |
Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
|
| 18:5 |
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine.
|
| 18:6 |
The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.
|
| 18:7 |
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down.
|
| 18:8 |
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils.
|
| 18:9 |
A gin shall take [him] by the heel, [And] a snare shall lay hold on him.
|
| 18:10 |
A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.
|
| 18:11 |
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.
|
| 18:12 |
His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side.
|
| 18:13 |
The members of his body shall be devoured, [Yea], the first-born of death shall devour his members.
|
| 18:14 |
He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
|
| 18:15 |
There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
|
| 18:16 |
His roots shall be dried up beneath, And above shall his branch be cut off.
|
| 18:17 |
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street.
|
| 18:18 |
He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.
|
| 18:19 |
He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.
|
| 18:20 |
They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted.
|
| 18:21 |
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
