nkjv@Job:18:1 @ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
nkjv@Job:18:2 @ "How long till you put an end to words? Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.
nkjv@Job:18:3 @ Why are we counted as beasts, And regarded as stupid in your sight?
nkjv@Job:18:4 @ You who tear yourself in anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed from its place?
nkjv@Job:18:5 @ "The light of the wicked indeed goes out, And the flame of his fire does not shine.
nkjv@Job:18:6 @ The light is dark in his tent, And his lamp beside him is put out.
nkjv@Job:18:7 @ The steps of his strength are shortened, And his own counsel casts him down.
nkjv@Job:18:8 @ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walks into a snare.
nkjv@Job:18:9 @ The net takes him by the heel, And a snare lays hold of him.
nkjv@Job:18:10 @ A noose is hidden for him on the ground, And a trap for him in the road.
nkjv@Job:18:11 @ Terrors frighten him on every side, And drive him to his feet.
nkjv@Job:18:12 @ His strength is starved, And destruction is ready at his side.
nkjv@Job:18:13 @ It devours patches of his skin; The firstborn of death devours his limbs.
nkjv@Job:18:14 @ He is uprooted from the shelter of his tent, And they parade him before the king of terrors.
nkjv@Job:18:15 @ They dwell in his tent who are none of his; Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
nkjv@Job:18:16 @ His roots are dried out below, And his branch withers above.
nkjv@Job:18:17 @ The memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name among the renowned.
nkjv@Job:18:18 @ He is driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.
nkjv@Job:18:19 @ He has neither son nor posterity among his people, Nor any remaining in his dwellings.
nkjv@Job:18:20 @ Those in the west are astonished at his day, As those in the east are frightened.
nkjv@Job:18:21 @ Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God."
