1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, 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 teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? 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 walketh 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 affrighted. |
|
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. |
