Capítulo 18

1 - Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 - How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

3 - Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [And] are become unclean in your sight?

4 - Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?

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

6 - The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.

7 - The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down.

8 - For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils.

9 - A gin shall take [him] by the heel, [And] a snare shall lay hold on him.

10 - A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.

11 - Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.

12 - His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side.

13 - The members of his body shall be devoured, [Yea], the first-born of death shall devour his members.

14 - He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.

15 - There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

16 - His roots shall be dried up beneath, And above shall his branch be cut off.

17 - His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street.

18 - He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.

19 - He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.

20 - They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted.

21 - Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
