1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite , and said , 2How long will it be ere ye make an end of words ? mark , and afterwards we will speak . 3Wherefore are we counted as beasts , and reputed vile in your sight ? 4He teareth himself in his anger : shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his 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 tabernacle , and his candle shall be put out with him. 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 a snare . 9The gin shall take him by the heel , and the robber shall prevail against him. 10The snare is laid for him in the ground , and a trap for him in the way . 11Terrors shall make him afraid on every side , and shall drive him to his feet . 12His strength shall be hungerbitten , and destruction shall be ready at his side . 13It shall devour the strength of his skin : even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength . 14His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle , and it shall bring him to the king of terrors . 15It shall dwell in his tabernacle , because it 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 neither have son nor nephew among his people , nor any remaining in his dwellings . 20They that come after him shall be astonied at his day , as they that went before were affrighted . 21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked , and this is the place of him that knoweth not God .
