Bildad: God Punishes the Wicked

1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,+ 2How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.+ 3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [And] are become unclean in your sight?+ 4Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?+ 5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine.+ 6The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.+ 7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down.+ 8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils.+ 9A gin shall take [him] by the heel, [And] a snare shall lay hold on him.+ 10A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.+ 11Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.+ 12His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side.+ 13The members of his body shall be devoured, [Yea], the first-born of death shall devour his members.+ 14He shall be rooted out of his tent wherein he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.+ 15There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.+ 16His roots shall be dried up beneath, And above shall his branch be cut off.+ 17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And 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 son’s son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.+ 20They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted.+ 21Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.+
