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