(KJV) Job 18¹

⥃Bildad: God Punishes the Wicked

[1] Then answered Bildad² the Shuhite, and said, [2] How long³ [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark⁴, and afterwards we will speak. [3] Wherefore⁵ are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight? [4] He teareth⁶ himself⁷ in his anger: shall the⁸ earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock⁹ be removed out of his place? [5] Yea, the light¹⁰ of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark¹¹ of his fire shall not shine. [6] The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle¹² shall be put out with him. [7] The steps¹³ of his strength shall be straitened, and his own¹⁴ counsel shall cast him down. [8] For he is cast¹⁵ into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. [9] The gin¹⁶ shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber¹⁷ shall prevail against him. [10] The snare¹⁸ [is] laid¹⁹ for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. [11] Terrors²⁰ shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him²¹ to his feet²². [12] His strength shall be hungerbitten²³, and destruction²⁴ [shall be] ready at his side. [13] It shall devour the strength²⁵ of his skin: [even] the firstborn²⁶ of death shall devour his strength. [14] His confidence²⁷ shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king²⁸ of terrors. [15] It shall dwell²⁹ in his tabernacle, because³⁰ [it is] none of his: brimstone³¹ shall be scattered upon his habitation. [16] His roots³² shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch³³ be cut off. [17] His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.³⁴ [18] He shall be driven³⁵ from light into darkness, and chased³⁶ out of the world. [19] He shall neither³⁷ have son nor nephew among his people, nor any³⁸ remaining in his dwellings. [20] They that come after [him] shall be astonied³⁹ at his day⁴⁰, as they that went⁴¹ before were affrighted⁴². [21] Surely such [are⁴³] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth⁴⁴ not God.
