| 18:1 |
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
|
| 18:2 |
How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
|
| 18:3 |
Why are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight?
|
| 18:4 |
He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place?
|
| 18:5 |
Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
|
| 18:6 |
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
|
| 18:7 |
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
|
| 18:8 |
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
|
| 18:9 |
The gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall prevail against him.
|
| 18:10 |
The snare [is] laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
|
| 18:11 |
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
|
| 18:12 |
His strength shall be hunger-bitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.
|
| 18:13 |
It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the first-born of death shall devour his strength.
|
| 18:14 |
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
|
| 18:15 |
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
|
| 18:16 |
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
|
| 18:17 |
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
|
| 18:18 |
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
|
| 18:19 |
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
|
| 18:20 |
They that come after [him] shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
|
| 18:21 |
Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth not God.
