1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,1Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,
2How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.2"How long will you hunt for words? Show understanding and then we can talk.
3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?3"Why are we regarded as beasts, As stupid in your eyes?
4He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?4"O you who tear yourself in your anger-- For your sake is the earth to be abandoned, Or the rock to be moved from its place?
5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.5"Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, And the flame of his fire gives no light.
6The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.6"The light in his tent is darkened, And his lamp goes out above him.
7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.7"His vigorous stride is shortened, And his own scheme brings him down.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.8"For he is thrown into the net by his own feet, And he steps on the webbing.
9The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.9"A snare seizes him by the heel, And a trap snaps shut on him.
10The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.10"A noose for him is hidden in the ground, And a trap for him on the path.
11Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.11"All around terrors frighten him, And harry him at every step.
12His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.12"His strength is famished, And calamity is ready at his side.
13It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.13"His skin is devoured by disease, The firstborn of death devours his limbs.
14His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.14"He is torn from the security of his tent, And they march him before the king of terrors.
15It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.15"There dwells in his tent nothing of his; Brimstone is scattered on his habitation.
16His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.16"His roots are dried below, And his branch is cut off above.
17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.17"Memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name abroad.
18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.18"He is driven from light into darkness, And chased from the inhabited world.
19He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.19"He has no offspring or posterity among his people, Nor any survivor where he sojourned.
20They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.20"Those in the west are appalled at his fate, And those in the east are seized with horror.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.21"Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God."
