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. |

|
|
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. |
