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