Job 18 · איוב

Then answered Bildad the Shuĥite, and said,

How long will you make a perversion of words? consider, and afterwards we will speak.

Why are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

He tears himself in his anger. Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? or shall the rock be removed out of his place?

Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

The light shall be dark in his tent, and his candle over him shall be put out.

The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a pitfall.

The trap shall take him by the heel, and the snare shall prevail against him.

The noose is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels:

his first born shall he plagued with hunger, and his wife beset with calamity.

He will devour the limbs of his skin: the firstborn doomed to die will devour his own limbs.

He shall be cut off from the tent of his security; and shall he brought to the king of terrors.

In his tent dwells that which is none of his: brimstone is scattered on his habitation.

His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch wither.

His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

He shall have neither son nor offspring among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

They who come after him shall be astonished at his day, as they who went before were affrighted.

Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him who knows not God.
