Compare: Job 18

BSB

Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

BSB

“How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.

BSB

Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?

BSB

You who tear yourself in anger— should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?

BSB

Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.

BSB

The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.

BSB

His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.

BSB

For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.

BSB

A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.

BSB

A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.

BSB

Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.

BSB

His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.

BSB

It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.

BSB

He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.

BSB

Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.

BSB

The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.

BSB

The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.

BSB

He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.

BSB

He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.

BSB

Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.

BSB

Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”
