Chapter 18
- 18:1
- Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
- 18:2
- How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
- 18:3
- Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
- 18:4
- He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
- 18:5
- Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
- 18:6
- The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
- 18:7
- The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
- 18:8
- For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
- 18:9
- The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
- 18:10
- The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
- 18:11
- Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
- 18:12
- His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
- 18:13
- It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
- 18:14
- His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
- 18:15
- It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
- 18:16
- His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
- 18:17
- His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
- 18:18
- He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
- 18:19
- He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
- 18:20
- They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
- 18:21
- Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
