1 - And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --

2 - When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak.

3 - Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes!

4 - (He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place?

5 - Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire.

6 - The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.

7 - Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.

8 - For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.

9 - Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing.

10 - Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.

11 - Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him--at his feet.

12 - Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side.

13 - It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born.

14 - Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.

15 - It dwelleth in his tent--out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.

16 - From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.

17 - His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street.

18 - They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.

19 - He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.

20 - At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright.

21 - Only these <FI>are<Fi> tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known.
