18:1  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said:
18:2  “How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? Mark, and afterwards we will speak.
18:3  Why are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
18:4  He teareth himself in his anger. Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? And shall the rock be removed out of his 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 tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
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 a snare.
18:9  The trap shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
18:10  The snare is laid 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 drive him to his feet.
18:12  His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
18:13  It shall devour the strength of his skin; even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
18:14  His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
18:15  It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it 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 neither have son nor descendant among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
18:20  They that come after him shall be dismayed at his day, as they that went before were frightened.
18:21  Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.”
