✧1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: ✧2“How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk. ✧3Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight? ✧4You who tear yourself in anger— should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place? ✧5Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow. ✧6The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out. ✧7His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up. ✧8For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh. ✧9A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him. ✧

A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.
✧11Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.
✧12His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.
✧13It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
✧14He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.
✧15Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.
✧16The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
✧17The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.
✧18He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.
✧19He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.
✧20Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.
✧21Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”
