¹ THEN answered Bildad the Shuchiy, 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 tears himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for you? 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 walks 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 astonished at his day, as they that went before were frightened.

²¹ Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knows not El.
