Chapter Text
18:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
18:2 When will yee make an ende of your words? cause vs to vnderstande, and then wee will speake.
18:3 Wherefore are wee counted as beastes, and are vile in your sight?
18:4 Thou art as one that teareth his soule in his anger. Shall the earth bee forsaken for thy sake? or the rocke remoued out of his place?
18:5 Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe quenched, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
18:6 The light shalbe darke in his dwelling, and his candle shalbe put out with him.
18:7 The steps of his strength shalbe restrained, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.
18:8 For hee is taken in the net by his feete, and he walketh vpon the snares.
18:9 The grenne shall take him by the heele, and the theefe shall come vpon him.
18:10 A snare is layed for him in the ground, and a trappe for him in the way.
18:11 Fearefulnesse shall make him afrayde on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
18:12 His strength shalbe famine: and destruction shalbe readie at his side.
18:13 It shall deuoure the inner partes of his skinne, and the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.
18:14 His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall cause him to go to the King of feare.
18:15 Feare shall dwell in his house (because it is not his) and brimstone shalbe scattered vpon his habitation.
18:16 His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his branche be cut downe.
18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.
18:18 They shall driue him out of the light vnto darkenesse, and chase him out of the world.
18:19 Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephewe among his people, nor any posteritie in his dwellings.
18:20 The posteritie shalbe astonied at his day, and feare shall come vpon the ancient.
18:21 Surely such are the habitations of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
