**1 **Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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