Chapter 18

1


 

  Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,  

 

 

--

2


 

  'How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Why are we counted as animals, Which have become unclean in your sight?  

 

 

--

4


 

  You who tear yourself in your anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?  

 

 

--

5


 

  'Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.  

 

 

--

6


 

  The light shall be dark in his tent, His lamp above him shall be put out.  

 

 

--

7


 

  The steps of his strength shall be shortened, His own counsel shall cast him down.  

 

 

--

8


 

  For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he wanders into its mesh.  

 

 

--

9


 

  A snare shall take him by the heel; A trap shall lay hold on him.  

 

 

--

10


 

  A noose is hidden for him in the ground, A trap for him in the way.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.  

 

 

--

12


 

  His strength shall be famished, Calamity shall be ready at his side.  

 

 

--

13


 

  The members of his body shall be devoured, The firstborn of death shall devour his members.  

 

 

--

14


 

  He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.  

 

 

--

15


 

  There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.  

 

 

--

16


 

  His roots shall be dried up beneath, Above shall his branch be cut off.  

 

 

--

17


 

  His memory shall perish from the earth. 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 have neither son nor grandson among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, As those who went before were frightened.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, This is the place of him who doesn't know God.'  

 

 

--
