Bildad’s second speech
18
📚Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said, 2 📚“How long before you put an end to such words? Use some understanding, and afterwards we can talk.
3 📚✭Why are we regarded as beasts and considered brutish in your sight?
4 📚✭You tear yourself in your anger. Will the earth be abandoned for you? Or will the rock be moved from its place?
5 📚✭“The light of the wicked will certainly be put out; the flame of his fire will no longer shine.
6 📚The light in his tent will become dark, and the lamp beside him will be put out.
7 📚His strong stride will be shortened, and his own scheme will overthrow him.
8 📚For he is hurled into the net by his own feet, as he walks into the snare.
9 📚The trap seizes him by the heel, and the snare catches him.
10 📚A noose is hidden for him on the ground, and a trap awaits him on the road.
11 📚Terrors frighten him on every side, and drives him to his feet.
12 📚His strength becomes famished, and destruction is ready at his side.
13 📚It devours parts of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
14 📚His security is uprooted from his tent, and he is brought before the king of terrors.
15 📚In his tent nothing of his will reside; sulfur will be scattered over his dwelling.
16 📚His roots dry up below, and his branch above will be cut off.
17 📚The memory of him will perish from the earth, and he will have no name outside.
18 📚He is driven from light into darkness, chased out of the world.
19 📚He has no son or descendant among his people, nor anyone remaining in his dwelling.
20 📚Seeing his day those in the west are astonished, and those in the east are frightened.
21 📚Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of the one who does not know God”.
