| # Chapter 18
#### 1 | Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
#### 2 | How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
#### 3 | Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [And] are become unclean in your sight?
#### 4 | Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its 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 tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.
#### 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 the toils.
#### 9 | A gin shall take [him] by the heel, [And] a snare shall lay hold on him.
#### 10 | A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.
#### 11 | Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.
#### 12 | His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side.
#### 13 | The members of his body shall be devoured, [Yea], the first-born of death shall devour his members.
#### 14 | He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
#### 15 | There shall dwell in his tent that which 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 have neither son nor son's son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.
#### 20 | They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted.
#### 21 | Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
