- 1. Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
- 2. "How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
- 3. Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
- 4. You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
- 5. "Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.
- 6. The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.
- 7. The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down.
- 8. For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
- 9. A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
- 10. A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the way.
- 11. Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.
- 12. His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.
- 13. The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.
- 14. He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.
- 15. There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.
- 16. His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off.
- 17. His memory shall perish from the earth. 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 have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned.
- 20. Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
- 21. Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."
