Bildad Describes the Fate of the Wicked |
1 |
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
|
2 |
How long will it be ere ye make an end of words?
|
Mark, and afterward 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 hunger-bitten,
|
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 astonished 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. |
