¹ And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:² Until when will you put an end to words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.³ Why are we counted as animals? Are we stupid in your eyes?⁴ One tearing himself in his anger, shall the earth be forsaken for your sake? Or shall the rock move from its place?

⁵ Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out; and the spark of his fire shall not blaze.⁶ The light shall be dark in his tent; and his lamp shall be put out above him;⁷ the steps of his strength shall be hampered; and his own counsel shall throw him down.⁸ For he is sent into a net by his own feet; and he is walking on a snare;⁹ the trap shall take him by the heel; a noose shall prevail over him;¹⁰ the pitfall is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him on the way.

¹¹ Terrors frighten him on every side and shall dash him at his feet.¹² His strength shall be hunger-bitten, and calamity shall be ready at his side.¹³ It devours parts of his skin; the first-born of death eats his parts.¹⁴ His hope shall be rooted out of his tent, and you marched to the king of terrors.¹⁵ What is not his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone is scattered on his home.¹⁶ His roots are dried up beneath, and his branch shall wither above.¹⁷ His memory perishes from the earth, and there is no name to him on the face of the street.¹⁸ They push him from light to darkness, and they make him flee from the world.¹⁹ He shall have no son nor kinsman among his people, nor any remnant in his dwellings.²⁰ Those after him shall be amazed at his day; and those before were seized with horror.²¹ Surely these are the tents of the perverse, and this the place that has not known God.
