¹ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

² How long will ye lay snares for words? consider, and afterwards we will speak.

³ Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and are become unclean in your sight?

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?

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 tent, and his lamp above 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 cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.

⁹ A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.

¹⁰ A noose is hid for him in the ground, and 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 hunger-bitten and calamity shall be ready for his halting.

¹³ It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the firstborn of death shall devour his members.

¹⁴ He shall be rooted out of his tent wherein he trusteth; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.

¹⁵ There shall dwell in his tent that which 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 have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned.

²⁰ They that come after shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

²¹ Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
