Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, (18:1)

How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak (18:2)

Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight? (18:3)

He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place? (18:4)

Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine (18:5)

The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him (18:6)

The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down (18:7)

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare (18:8)

The gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall prevail against him (18:9)

The snare [is] laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way (18:10)

Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet (18:11)

His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side (18:12)

It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the firstborn of death shall devour his strength (18:13)

His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors (18:14)

It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation (18:15)

His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off (18:16)

His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street (18:17)

He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world (18:18)

He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings (18:19)

They that come after [him] shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted (18:20)

Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth not God (18:21)
