[1] Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, [2] "How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak. [3] Why are we counted as animals, Which have become unclean in your sight? [4] You who tear yourself in your anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place? [5] "Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine. [6] The light shall be dark in his tent, His lamp above him shall be put out. [7] The steps of his strength shall be shortened, His own counsel shall cast him down. [8] For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he wanders into its mesh. [9] A snare shall take him by the heel; A trap shall lay hold on him. [10] A noose is hidden for him in the ground, A trap for him in the way. [11] Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels. [12] His strength shall be famished, Calamity shall be ready at his side. [13] The members of his body shall be devoured, The firstborn of death shall devour his members. [14] He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors. [15] There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation. [16] His roots shall be dried up beneath, Above shall his branch be cut off. [17] His memory shall perish from the earth. He shall have no name in the street. [18] He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world. [19] He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned. [20] Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, As those who went before were frightened. [21] Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, This is the place of him who doesn`t know God."
