Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, |
|
2
|
How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. |
|
3
|
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? |
|
4
|
He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place? |
|
5
|
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. |
|
6
|
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. |
|
7
|
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. |
|
8
|
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. |
|
9
|
The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. |
|
10
|
The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. |
|
11
|
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet. |
|
12
|
His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. |
|
13
|
It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. |
|
14
|
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. |
|
15
|
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: abrimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. |
|
16
|
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. |
|
17
|
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. |
|
18
|
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. |
|
19
|
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. |
|
20
|
They that come after him shall be 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. |
