18:1  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
18:2  How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
18:3  Wherefore are we counted as beasts, And are become unclean in your sight?
18:4  Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
18:5  Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine.
18:6  The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.
18:7  The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down.
18:8  For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils.
18:9  A gin shall take him by the heel, And a snare shall lay hold on him.
18:10  A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.
18:11  Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.
18:12  His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side.
18:13  The members of his body shall be devoured, Yea , the first-born of death shall devour his members.
18:14  He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
18:15  There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
18:16  His roots shall be dried up beneath, And above shall his branch be cut off.
18:17  His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street.
18:18  He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.
18:19  He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.
18:20  They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted.
18:21  Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
