Job - ch 18 v 1 - 20
- And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --
- When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak.
- Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes!
- (He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place?
- Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire.
- The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.
- Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.
- For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.
- Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing.
- Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.
- Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him -- at his feet.
- Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side.
- It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born.
- Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.
- It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.
- From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.
- His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street.
- They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.
- He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.
- At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright.
