Bildad reproveth Job of presumption and impatience.

1 ¶ Then answeredºª Bildadº the Shuhite,º and said,ºª 2 How longº² [will it be ere] ye makeºª an endº of words?º mark,ºª and afterwardsº we will speak.ºª 3 Wherefore² are we countedºª as beasts,º [and] reputed vileºª in your sight?º 4 He tearethºª himselfº in his anger:º shall the earthº be forsakenºª for² thee? and shall the rockº be removedºª out of his place?º²

The calamities of the wicked.

5 Yea,² the lightº of the wickedº shall be put out,ºª and the sparkº of his fireº shall not² shine.ºª 6 The lightº shall be darkºª in his tabernacle,º and his candleº shall be put outºª with² him. 7 The stepsº of his strengthº shall be straitened,ºª and his own counselº shall cast him down.ºª 8 For² he is castºª into a netº by his own feet,º and he walkethºª upon² a snare.º 9 The ginº shall takeºª [him] by the heel,º [and] the robberº shall prevailºª against² him. 10 The snareº [is] laidºª for him in the ground,º and a trapº for him in² the way.º 11 Terrorsº shall make him afraidºª on every side,º and shall driveºª him to his feet.º 12 His strengthº shall be² hungerbitten,º and destructionº [shall be] readyºª at his side.º 13 It shall devourºª the strengthº of his skin:º [even] the firstbornº of deathº shall devourºª his strength.º 14 His confidenceº shall be rooted outºª of his tabernacle,º² and it shall bringºª him to the kingº of terrors.º 15 It shall dwellºª in his tabernacle,º because [it is] noneº² of his: brimstoneº shall be scatteredºª upon² his habitation.º 16 His rootsº shall be dried upºª beneath,²² and aboveº² shall his branchº be cut off.ºª 17 His remembranceº shall perishºª from² the earth,º and he shall have no² nameº in² the street.ºº 18 He shall be drivenºª from lightº² into² darkness,º and chasedºª out of the world.º² 19 He shall neither² have sonº nor² nephewº among his people,º nor² any remainingº in his dwellings.º 20 They that come afterº [him] shall be astoniedºª at² his day,º as they that went beforeº were affrighted.º¹ª 21 Surely² such² [are] the dwellingsº of the wicked,º and this² [is] the placeº [of him that] knowethºª not² God.º
