Then answered[H6030]Bildad[H1085] the Shuhite[H7747], and said[H559],
2
How long[H5704] will it be ere ye make[H7760] an end[H7078] of words?[H4405]mark[H995], and afterwards[H310] we will speak[H1696].
3
Wherefore are we counted[H2803] as beasts[H929], and reputed vile[H2933] in your sight?[H5869]
4
He teareth[H2963]himself[H5315] in his anger[H639]: shall the earth[H776] be forsaken[H5800] for thee? and shall the rock[H6697] be removed[H6275] out of his place?[H4725]
5
Yea, the light[H216] of the wicked[H7563] shall be put out[H1846], and the spark[H7632] of his fire[H784] shall not shine[H5050].
6
The light[H216] shall be dark[H2821] in his tabernacle[H168], and his candle[H5216] shall be put out[H1846] with him.
7
The steps[H6806] of his strength[H202] shall be straitened[H3334], and his own counsel[H6098] shall cast him down[H7993].
8
For he is cast[H7971] into a net[H7568] by his own feet[H7272], and he walketh[H1980] upon a snare[H7639].
9
The gin[H6341] shall take[H270] him by the heel[H6119], and the robber[H6782] shall prevail[H2388] against him.
10
The snare[H2256] is laid[H2934] for him in the ground[H776], and a trap[H4434] for him in the way[H5410].
11Terrors[H1091] shall make him afraid[H1204] on every side[H5439], and shall drive[H6327] him to his feet[H7272].
12
His strength[H202] shall be hungerbitten[H7457], and destruction[H343] shall be ready[H3559] at his side[H6763].
13
It shall devour[H398] the strength[H905] of his skin[H5785]: even the firstborn[H1060] of death[H4194] shall devour[H398] his strength[H905].
14
His confidence[H4009] shall be rooted out[H5423] of his tabernacle[H168], and it shall bring[H6805] him to the king[H4428] of terrors[H1091].
15
It shall dwell[H7931] in his tabernacle[H168], because it is none[H1097] of his: brimstone[H1614] shall be scattered[H2219] upon his habitation[H5116].
16
His roots[H8328] shall be dried up[H3001] beneath, and above[H4605] shall his branch[H7105] be cut off[H5243].
17
His remembrance[H2143] shall perish[H6] from the earth[H776], and he shall have no name[H8034] in the street[H6440].
18
He shall be driven[H1920] from light[H216] into darkness[H2822], and chased[H5074] out of the world[H8398].
19
He shall neither have son[H5209] nor nephew[H5220] among his people[H5971], nor any remaining[H8300] in his dwellings[H4033].
20
They that come after[H314] him shall be astonied[H8074] at his day[H3117], as they that went before[H6931] were affrighted[H270].
21
Surely such are the dwellings[H4908] of the wicked[H5767], and this is the place[H4725] of him that knoweth[H3045] not God[H410].
