Bildad
Speaks of the Wicked |
|
|
 |
| Job 18:1 |
|
Then Bildad the Shuhite responded, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 18:2 |
|
"How long will you hunt for words? Show understanding
and then we can talk. |
| |
|
|
| Job 18:3 |
|
"Why are we regarded as beasts, As stupid in
your eyes? |
| |
|
|
| Job 18:4 |
|
"O you who tear yourself in your anger-- For
your sake is the earth to be abandoned, Or the rock to be moved from its place? |
| |
|
|
| Job 18:5 |
|
"Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, And
the flame of his fire gives no light. |
| |
|
|
| Job 18:6 |
|
"The light in his tent is darkened, And his
lamp goes out above him. |
| |
|
|
| Job 18:7 |
|
"His vigorous stride is shortened, And his own
scheme brings him down. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:8 |
|
"For he is thrown into the net by his own feet,
And he steps on the webbing. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:9 |
|
"A snare seizes him by the heel, And a trap
snaps shut on him. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:10 |
|
"A noose for him is hidden in the ground, And
a trap for him on the path. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:11 |
|
"All around terrors frighten him, And harry
him at every step. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:12 |
|
"His strength is famished, And calamity is ready
at his side. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:13 |
|
"His skin is devoured by disease, The firstborn
of death devours his limbs. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:14 |
|
"He is torn from the security of his tent, And
they march him before the king of terrors. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:15 |
|
"There dwells in his tent nothing of his; Brimstone
is scattered on his habitation. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:16 |
|
"His roots are dried below, And his branch is
cut off above. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:17 |
|
"Memory of him perishes from the earth, And
he has no name abroad. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:18 |
|
"He is driven from light into darkness, And
chased from the inhabited world. |
|
|
|
| Job 18:19 |
|
"He has no offspring or posterity among his
people, Nor any survivor where he sojourned. |
| |
|
|
| Job 18:20 |
|
"Those in the west are appalled at his fate,
And those in the east are seized with horror. |
| |
|
|
| Job 18:21 |
|
"Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who does not know God." |
