Bildad: God Punishes the Wicked

1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,+ 2“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.+ 3Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?+ 4You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?+ 5“Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.+ 6The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.+ 7The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down.+ 8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.+ 9A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.+ 10A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.+ 11Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.+ 12His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.+ 13The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.+ 14He shall be rooted out of the security of his tent. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.+ 15There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.+ 16His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off.+ 17His memory shall perish from the earth. He shall have no name in the street.+ 18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.+ 19He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.+ 20Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.+ 21Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”+
