18 Then
answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 2 How
long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will
speak. 3 Wherefore
are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? 4 He
teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and
shall the rock be removed out of his 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 tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out
with him. 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 a snare. 9 The
gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. 10 The
snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his
feet. 12 His
strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. 13 It
shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall
devour his strength. 14 His
confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him
to the king of terrors. 15 It
shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it 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 neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in
his dwellings. 20 They
that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before
were affrighted. 21 Surely
such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that
knoweth not God.
