18:1  Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:
18:2  How long will you throw out words? understand first, and so let us speak.
18:3  Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before you?
18:4  Thou that destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be removed out of their place?
18:5  Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine?
18:6  The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him, shall be put out.
18:7  The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong.
18:8  For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in its meshes.
18:9  The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him.
18:10  A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon the path.
18:11  Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle his feet.
18:12  Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs.
18:13  Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn death consume his arms.
18:14  Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let destruction tread upon him like a king.
18:15  Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent.
18:16  Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed above.
18:17  Let the memory of him perish from the earth and let not his name be renowned in the streets.
18:18  He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall remove him out of the world.
18:19  His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people, nor any remnants in his country.
18:20  They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, and horror shall fall upon them that went before.
18:21  These men are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place of him that knoweth not God.
