¹ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,

² Unto what end shalt thou boast with words? Understand thou us first, and so speak we together.

³ Why be we areckoned as beasts, and why have we been foul before thee?

⁴ What or why losest thou thy soul in thy strong vengeance? Whether the earth shall be forsaken for thee, and hard stones shall be borne over from their place?

⁵ Whether the light of a wicked man shall not be quenched; and the flame of his fire shall not shine?

⁶ Light shall wax dark in his tabernacle; and the lantern, which is on him, shall be quenched.

⁷ The steps of his strength shall be made strait; and his counsel shall cast him down.

⁸ For he hath sent, or put, his feet into a net; and he goeth in the meshes, or knittings, thereof.

⁹ His foot shall be holden with a snare; and thirst shall burn out against him.

¹⁰ The foot-trap of him is hid in the earth, and his snare is laid on the path.

¹¹ Dreads shall make him afeared on every side, and shall bewrap his feet.

¹² His strength [shall] be made feeble by hunger; and poverty assail his ribs.

¹³ Devour it the fairness of his skin; the first engendered of death waste his arms.

¹⁴ His trust be taken away from his tabernacle; and perishing, as a king, above-tread on him.

¹⁵ The fellows of him that is not, that is, the fellows of a dead man, dwell in his tabernacle; and brimstone be sprinkled in his tabernacle.

¹⁶ The roots of him be made dry beneath; and be his ripe corn all-broken above.

¹⁷ His mind perish from the earth; and his name be not made solemn in streets.

¹⁸ He shall put him out from light into darknesses; and he shall bear him over from the world.

¹⁹ Neither his seed, neither his kin-dred, shall be in his people, neither any remnants of them left in his countries.

²⁰ The last men shall wonder in his days; and hideousness shall assail the first men.

²¹ Therefore these be the tabernacles of a wicked man; and this is the place of him, that knoweth not God.
