- Then aunswered Bildad the Suhite, and saide:
- 2
- When wyll ye make an ende of your wordes?
Marke well, and then we wyll speake.
- 3
- Wherfore are we counted as beastes, and reputed so vyle in your sight?
- 4
- He destroyeth him selfe with his anger: Shall the earth be forsaken, or any stone remoued out of his place because of thee?
- 5
- Yea, the light of the vngodly shalbe put out, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
- 6
- The light shall be darke in his dwelling, and his candle shall be put out with him.
- 7
- The steppes of his strength shalbe restrayned, and his owne counsaile shall cast him downe:
- 8
- For his feete are taken [as it were] in the net, & he walketh vpon the snares.
- 9
- The grinne shall take him by the heele, and it shall catche him that is thirstie of blood.
- 10
- The snare is layde for him in the grounde, and a pitfall in the way.
- 11
- Fearefulnesse shall make him afraide on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
- 12
- Hunger shalbe his strength, and destruction shalbe redye at his side.
- 13
- It shall eate the strength of his owne skinne, euen the first borne of death shall eate his strength.
- 14
- His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall bring him to the king of feare.
- 15
- Other men shall dwell in his house, and it shalbe none of his, and brimstone shall be scattered vpon his habitation.
- 16
- His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his braunche be cut downe.
- 17
- His remembraunce shall perishe from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.
- 18
- They shall driue him from the light into darkenesse, and chaste him cleane out of the worlde.
- 19
- He shall neither haue children nor kinsfolkes among his people, no nor any posteritie in his dwellinges.
- 20
- They that come after him, shalbe astonyed at his day, and they that go before shalbe afrayde.
- 21
- Such are now the dwellinges of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
