¹ Then aunswered Bildad the Suhite, and saide:² When wyll ye make an ende of your wordes? Marke well, and then we wyll speake.³ Wherfore are we counted as beastes, and reputed so vyle in your sight?⁴ He destroyeth him selfe with his anger: Shall the earth be forsaken, or any stone remoued out of his place because of thee?

⁵ Yea, the light of the vngodly shalbe put out, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.⁶ The light shall be darke in his dwelling, and his candle shall be put out with him.⁷ The steppes of his strength shalbe restrayned, and his owne counsaile shall cast him downe:⁸ For his feete are taken [as it were] in the net, & he walketh vpon the snares.⁹ The grinne shall take him by the heele, and it shall catche him that is thirstie of blood.¹⁰ The snare is layde for him in the grounde, and a pitfall in the way.

¹¹ Fearefulnesse shall make him afraide on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.¹² Hunger shalbe his strength, and destruction shalbe redye at his side.¹³ It shall eate the strength of his owne skinne, euen the first borne of death shall eate his strength.¹⁴ His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall bring him to the king of feare.¹⁵ Other men shall dwell in his house, and it shalbe none of his, and brimstone shall be scattered vpon his habitation.¹⁶ His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his braunche be cut downe.¹⁷ His remembraunce shall perishe from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.¹⁸ They shall driue him from the light into darkenesse, and chaste him cleane out of the worlde.¹⁹ He shall neither haue children nor kinsfolkes among his people, no nor any posteritie in his dwellinges.²⁰ They that come after him, shalbe astonyed at his day, and they that go before shalbe afrayde.²¹ Such are now the dwellinges of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
