18:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: 18:2 "How long will you hunt for words Consider, and then we will speak. 18:3 Why are we counted as cattle Why are we stupid in your sight 18:4 You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you, or the rock be removed out of its place 18:5 "Indeed, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine. 18:6 The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out. 18:7 His strong steps are shortened, and his own schemes throw him down. 18:8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on its mesh. 18:9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare lays hold of him. 18:10 A rope is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path. 18:11 Terrors frighten him on every side, and chase him at his heels. 18:12 His strength is famished, and calamity is ready for his stumbling. 18:13 It consumes the parts of his skin; the firstborn of death consumes his limbs. 18:14 He is torn from the tent in which he trusted and is brought to the king of terrors. 18:15 In his tent dwells that which is none of his; sulfur is scattered over his habitation. 18:16 His roots dry up beneath, and his branches wither above. 18:17 His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street. 18:18 He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world. 18:19 He has no posterity or progeny among his people, and no survivor where he used to live. 18:20 They of the west are appalled at his day, and horror seizes them of the east. 18:21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, such is the place of him who knows not God."
