| 18:1 |
And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
|
| 18:2 |
How long will ye hunt for words? Be intelligent, and then we will speak.
|
| 18:3 |
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed stupid in your sight?
|
| 18:4 |
Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place?
|
| 18:5 |
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the flame of his fire shall not shine.
|
| 18:6 |
The light shall become dark in his tent, and his lamp over 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 sent into the net by his own feet, and he walketh on the meshes;
|
| 18:9 |
The gin taketh [him] by the heel, the snare layeth hold on him;
|
| 18:10 |
A cord is hidden for him in the ground, and his trap in the way.
|
| 18:11 |
Terrors make him afraid on every side, and chase him at his footsteps.
|
| 18:12 |
His strength is hunger-bitten, and calamity is ready at his side.
|
| 18:13 |
The firstborn of death devoureth the members of his body; it will devour his members.
|
| 18:14 |
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall lead him away to the king of terrors:
|
| 18:15 |
They who are none of his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone shall be showered 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 on the pasture-grounds.
|
| 18:18 |
He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
|
| 18:19 |
He hath neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining in the places of his sojourn.
|
| 18:20 |
They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before [them] were affrighted.
|
| 18:21 |
Surely, such are the dwellings of the unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not God.
