1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2“How long will you hunt for words?
Consider, and then we shall speak.
3Why are we counted as cattle?[#Job 36.14; Ps 73.22]
Why are we stupid in your sight?
4You who tear yourself in your anger—[#Job 13.14; 14.18]
shall the earth be forsaken because of you
or the rock be removed out of its place?
5“Surely the light of the wicked is put out,[#Prov 13.9; 20.20; 24.20]
and the flame of their fire does not shine.
6The light is dark in their tent,
and the lamp above them is put out.
7Their strong steps are shortened,[#Job 5.13; Prov 4.12]
and their own schemes throw them down.
8For they are thrust into a net by their own feet,[#Job 22.10; Ps 9.15; 35.8]
and they walk into a pitfall.
9A trap seizes them by the heel;[#Job 5.5; Ps 140.5]
a snare lays hold of them.
10A rope is hid for them in the ground,[#Ps 69.22]
a trap for them in the path.
11Terrors frighten them on every side[#Job 15.21; Jer 6.25; 20.3]
and chase them at their heels.
12Their strength is consumed by hunger,[#Isa 8.21; #18.12 Or Disaster is hungry for them]
and calamity is ready for their stumbling.
13By disease their skin is consumed;[#18.13 Cn: Heb It consumes the limbs of his skin]
the firstborn of Death consumes their limbs.
14They are torn from the tent in which they trusted[#Job 8.22; 15.21]
and are brought to the king of terrors.
15In their tents nothing remains;[#Ps 11.6]
sulfur is scattered upon their habitations.
16Their roots dry up beneath,[#Isa 5.24; Hos 9.16]
and their branches wither above.
17Their memory perishes from the earth,[#Ps 34.16; Prov 2.22; 10.7]
and they have no name in the street.
18They are thrust from light into darkness
and driven out of the world.
19They have no offspring or descendant among their people[#Isa 14.22; Jer 22.30]
and no survivor where they used to live.
20They of the west are appalled at their fate,
and horror seizes those of the east.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the ungodly;[#Jer 9.3; 1 Thess 4.5]
such is the place of those who do not know God.”
