And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
How long will ye make a hunt for words?{HR}Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
Why are we accounted as cattle,{HR}Stopped up in your eyes?
He teareth his soul in his anger:{HR}Shall the earth be forsaken for thee,{HR}And shall a rock be removed out of its place?
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out,{HR}And the flame of his fire shall not shine.
The light in his tabernacle shall be dark,{HR}And his lamp shall be put out with him.
The steps of his strength shall be straitened,{HR}And his own counsel shall cast him down.
For by his feet is he driven into a net,{HR}And he walketh over the meshes;
The trap seizeth on his heel;{HR}The snare prevaileth over him;
His cord [is] hidden in the earth,{HR}And his trap upon the pathway.
Terrors shall terrify him around,{HR}And scare him at his footsteps.
His calamity [is] hungry,{HR}And destruction [is] ready at his side.
The first-born of death devoureth the parts of his skin —{HR}Devoureth his parts.
His confidence shall be torn out of his tent,{HR}And shall march him off to the king of terrors;
There shall dwell in his tent what [is] not his;{HR}On his dwelling shall sulphur be scattered.
Beneath, his roots shall be dried up,{HR}And above, his branch shall be cut off.
His memorial shall perish from the earth,{HR}And he shall have no name on the plain.
They shall drive him from light into darkness,{HR}And shall chase him from the world.
No shoot nor sprout shall he have among his people,{HR}And no escaped one in his dwellings.
At his day they of the west will be astonished,{HR}And they of the east take fright.
Surely so the dwellings of the wicked,{HR}And this the place of [him that] knoweth not God.
