Bildad Speaks: God Punishes the Wicked

1Then 18:1 ch. 2:11; 8:1Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2“How long will you 18:2 [Matt. 22:15; Mark 12:13; Luke 20:20]hunt for words?

Consider, and then we will speak.

3Why are we counted as 18:3 Ps. 73:22cattle?

Why are we stupid in your sight?

4You who 18:4 ch. 16:9tear yourself in your anger,

shall the earth be forsaken for you,

or 18:4 ch. 14:18the rock be removed out of its place?

5“Indeed, 18:5 ch. 21:17; Prov. 13:9; 20:20; 24:20; See Ps. 18:28the light of the wicked is put out,

and the flame of his fire does not shine.

6The light is 18:6 ch. 10:22dark in his tent,

and his lamp above him is put out.

7His strong steps are shortened,

and his 18:7 [ch. 5:13]own schemes throw him down.

8For he is cast into a net by his own feet,

and he walks on its mesh.

918:9 Ps. 140:5A trap seizes him by the heel;

a snare lays hold of him.

10A rope is hidden for him in the ground,

a trap for him in the path.

1118:11 ch. 15:21; 20:25; 27:20; 30:15; Jer. 6:25; 46:5; 49:29Terrors frighten him on every side,

and chase him at his heels.

12His strength is famished,

and calamity is 18:12 Ps. 38:17ready for his stumbling.

13It consumes the parts of his skin;

18:13 Isa. 14:30the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.

14He is torn from the tent in which he trusted

and is brought to 18:14 [Rev. 9:11]the king of terrors.

15In his tent dwells that which is none of his;

18:15 See Ps. 11:6; Ezek. 38:22sulfur is scattered over his habitation.

16His 18:16 ch. 29:19; Hos. 9:16roots dry up beneath,

and his branches 18:16 ch. 14:2wither above.

17His 18:17 Ps. 34:16; Prov. 10:7; [Ps. 109:13, 15]memory perishes from the earth,

and he has no name in the street.

1818:18 ch. 10:21, 22He is thrust from light into darkness,

and driven out of the world.

19He has no 18:19 Isa. 14:22posterity or progeny among his people,

and no survivor where he used to live.

20They of the west are appalled at his 18:20 Ps. 37:13; Jer. 50:27; Ezek. 21:25, 29; Obad. 12; [1 Sam. 26:10] day,

and 18:20 [ch. 21:6]horror seizes them of the east.

21Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous,

such is the place of him who 18:21 Judg. 2:10; Jer. 9:3; 10:25; 1 Thess. 4:8; 2 Thess. 1:8knows not God.”
