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