1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2“How long till you put an end to words? Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.2How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3Why are we counted as beasts, And regarded as stupid in your sight?3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
4You who tear yourself in anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed from its place?4He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
5“The light of the wicked indeed goes out, And the flame of his fire does not shine.5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6The light is dark in his tent, And his lamp beside him is put out.6The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
7The steps of his strength are shortened, And his own counsel casts him down.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 walks into a snare.8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9The net takes him by the heel, And a snare lays hold of him.9The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
10A noose is hidden for him on the ground, And a trap for him in the road.10The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11Terrors frighten him on every side, And drive him to his feet.11Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12His strength is starved, And destruction is ready at his side.12His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13It devours patches of his skin; The firstborn of death devours his limbs.13It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14He is uprooted from the shelter of his tent, And they parade him before the king of terrors.14His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15They dwell in his tent who are none of his; Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.15It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16His roots are dried out below, And his branch withers above.16His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17The memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name among the renowned.17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18He is driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19He has neither son nor posterity among his people, Nor any remaining in his dwellings.19He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20Those in the west are astonished at his day, As those in the east are frightened.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 who does not know God.”21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
