Then answered{H6030}{(H8799)} Bildad{H1085} the Shuhite{H7747}, and said{H559}{(H8799)},

How long{H5704} will it be ere ye make{H7760}{(H8799)} an end{H7078} of words{H4405}? mark{H995}{(H8799)}, and afterwards{H310} we will speak{H1696}{(H8762)}.

Wherefore are we counted{H2803}{(H8738)} as beasts{H929}, and reputed vile{H2933}{(H8738)} in your sight{H5869}?

He teareth{H2963}{(H8802)} himself{H5315} in his anger{H639}: shall the earth{H776} be forsaken{H5800}{(H8735)} for thee? and shall the rock{H6697} be removed{H6275}{(H8799)} out of his place{H4725}?

Yea, the light{H216} of the wicked{H7563} shall be put out{H1846}{(H8799)}, and the spark{H7632} of his fire{H784} shall not shine{H5050}{(H8799)}.

The light{H216} shall be dark{H2821}{(H8804)} in his tabernacle{H168}, and his candle{H5216} shall be put out{H1846}{(H8799)} with him.

The steps{H6806} of his strength{H202} shall be straitened{H3334}{(H8799)}, and his own counsel{H6098} shall cast him down{H7993}{(H8686)}.

For he is cast{H7971}{(H8795)} into a net{H7568} by his own feet{H7272}, and he walketh{H1980}{(H8691)} upon a snare{H7639}.

The gin{H6341} shall take{H270}{(H8799)} him by the heel{H6119}, and the robber{H6782} shall prevail{H2388}{(H8686)} against him.

The snare{H2256} is laid{H2934}{(H8803)} for him in the ground{H776}, and a trap{H4434} for him in the way{H5410}.

Terrors{H1091} shall make him afraid{H1204}{(H8765)} on every side{H5439}, and shall drive{H6327}{(H8689)} him to his feet{H7272}.

His strength{H202} shall be hungerbitten{H7457}, and destruction{H343} shall be ready{H3559}{(H8737)} at his side{H6763}.

It shall devour{H398}{(H8799)} the strength{H905} of his skin{H5785}: even the firstborn{H1060} of death{H4194} shall devour{H398}{(H8799)} his strength{H905}.

His confidence{H4009} shall be rooted out{H5423}{(H8735)} of his tabernacle{H168}, and it shall bring{H6805}{(H8686)} him to the king{H4428} of terrors{H1091}.

It shall dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} in his tabernacle{H168}, because it is none{H1097} of his: brimstone{H1614} shall be scattered{H2219}{(H8792)} upon his habitation{H5116}.

His roots{H8328} shall be dried up{H3001}{(H8799)} beneath, and above{H4605} shall his branch{H7105} be cut off{H5243}{(H8799)}.

His remembrance{H2143} shall perish{H6}{(H8804)} from the earth{H776}, and he shall have no name{H8034} in the street{H6440}{H2351}.

He shall be driven{H1920}{(H8799)} from light{H216} into darkness{H2822}, and chased{H5074}{(H8686)} out of the world{H8398}.

He shall neither have son{H5209} nor nephew{H5220} among his people{H5971}, nor any remaining{H8300} in his dwellings{H4033}.

They that come after{H314} him shall be astonied{H8074}{(H8738)} at his day{H3117}, as they that went before{H6931} were affrighted{H270}{(H8804)}{H8178}.

Surely such are the dwellings{H4908} of the wicked{H5767}, and this is the place{H4725} of him that knoweth{H3045}{(H8804)} not God{H410}.
