- Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said,
- 2
- How long will it bee, ere you make an ende of words?
Marke, and afterwards we will speake.
- 3
- Wherefore are wee counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
- 4
- He teareth himselfe in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee?
and shall the rocke bee remooued out of his place?
- 5
- Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe put out, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
- 6
- The light shalbe darke in his tabernacle, and his candle shalbe put out with him.
- 7
- The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.
- 8
- For hee is cast into a net by his owne feete, & he walketh vpon a snare.
- 9
- The grinne shall take him by the heele, and the robber shall preuaile against him.
- 10
- The snare is laide for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
- 11
- Terrours shall make him afraid on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
- 12
- His strength shalbe hunger-bitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
- 13
- It shall deuoure the strength of his skinne: euen the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.
- 14
- His confidence shalbe rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrours.
- 15
- It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered vpon his habitation.
- 16
- His rootes shall be dryed vp beneath: and aboue shall his branch be cut off.
- 17
- His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and hee shall haue no name in the streete.
- 18
- He shall be driuen from light into darkenesse, and chased out of the world.
- 19
- Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
- 20
- They that come after him shalbe astonied at his day, as they that went before, were affrighted.
- 21
- Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
