Job 18:1-21
Bildad：God Punishes the Wicked

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

1:

2 How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

2:

3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight?

3:

4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

4:

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

5:

6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

6:

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

7:

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

8:

9 The gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall prevail against him.

9:

10 The snare [is] laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

10:

11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

11:

12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.

12:

13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

13:

14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

14:

15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

15:

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

16:

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

17:

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

18:

19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

19:

20 They that come after [him] shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

20:

21 Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth not God.

21:
