18:1  Then Bildad, the Shuhite, answered and said,
18:2  How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? Understand, and afterwards we will speak.
18:3  Why are we counted as beasts? Are we vile in your sight?
18:4  O thou that dost tear thy soul in thine anger; shall the earth be forsaken because of thee and shall the rocks be removed out of their place?
18:5  The light of the wicked shall certainly be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
18:6  The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his lamp shall be put out with him.
18:7  The steps of his strength shall be cut down, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
18:8  For a net shall be cast at his feet, and he shall walk upon a network.
18:9  The snare shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
18:10  The cord is hidden in the ground and a trap for him in the way.
18:11  Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and his own feet shall drive him away.
18:12  His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
18:13  They shall devour the protection of his skin; the firstborn of death shall devour his members.
18:14  His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
18:15  He shall dwell in his tent, as if it were not his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
18:16  His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above his branch shall be cut off.
18:17  His memory shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the streets.
18:18  He shall be driven from the light into the darkness and chased out of the world.
18:19  He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any to succeed him in his dwellings.
18:20  Those that come after him shall be dismayed at his day, as those that went before were overcome with fear.
18:21  Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that does not know God.
