018:018:001
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite,
and said,

018:018:002
How long will it be ere ye make an end of words?
mark,
and afterwards we will speak.

018:018:003
Wherefore are we counted as beasts,
and reputed vile in your sight?

018:018:004
He teareth himself in his anger:
shall the earth be forsaken for thee?
and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

018:018:005
Yea,
the light of the wicked shall be put out,
and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

018:018:006
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle,
and his candle shall be put out with him.

018:018:007
The steps of his strength shall be straitened,
and his own counsel shall cast him down.

018:018:008
For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
and he walketh upon a snare.

018:018:009
The gin shall take him by the heel,
and the robber shall prevail against him.

018:018:010
The snare is laid for him in the ground,
and a trap for him in the way.

018:018:011
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side,
and shall drive him to his feet.

018:018:012
His strength shall be hungerbitten,
and destruction shall be ready at his side.

018:018:013
It shall devour the strength of his skin:
even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

018:018:014
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle,
and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

018:018:015
It shall dwell in his tabernacle,
because it is none of his:
brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

018:018:016
His roots shall be dried up beneath,
and above shall his branch be cut off.

018:018:017
His remembrance shall perish from the earth,
and he shall have no name in the street.

018:018:018
He shall be driven from light into darkness,
and chased out of the world.

018:018:019
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people,
nor any remaining in his dwellings.

018:018:020
They that come after him shall be astonied at his day,
as they that went before were affrighted.

018:018:021
Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
