¹ THEN Bildad, the Shuhite, answered and said,² How long will you resist words? Understand! and afterwards we will speak.³ Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and have become abominable in your sight? O you who slays himself in his anger?⁴ Shall the earth be forsaken for your sake? And shall the mountain be removed out of its place?

⁵ Yea, the lamp of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.⁶ The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp above him shall be extinguished.⁷ He shall be deserted in his illness, and his own counsel shall cast him down.⁸ For he has stretched out his feet into the net, and lie walks upon a snare.⁹ The trap seizes him by the heel, and thirst shall prevail against him.¹⁰ A snare is laid for him on the ground, and a trap for him in his paths.

¹¹ Terror shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.¹² Let famine be his grief, let destruction be ready for his posterity.¹³ Let force devour his towns, let his first-born die in violence.¹⁴ His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and he shall be brought hastily by the kings executioner.¹⁵ Others shall dwell in his tent, because there is no one in it; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.¹⁶ His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his vintage be cut off.¹⁷ His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name upon it.¹⁸ He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.¹⁹ He shall neither have name nor remembrance among the people, nor any survivor in his dwelling place.²⁰ They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before them were terrified.²¹ Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked, and this is the place of him who knows not God.
