18:1  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
18:2  How long will ye lay snares 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 for his halting.
18:13  It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the firstborn of death shall devour his members.
18:14  He shall be rooted out of his tent wherein 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 astonied 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.
