Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
-
"How long before you stop talking? Speak sense if you want us to answer!
-
Do you think we are cattle? Do you think we have no intelligence?
-
You may tear your hair out in anger, but will that cause the earth to be abandoned? Will it make rocks fall from a cliff?
-
"The truth remains that the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. The sparks of their fire will not glow.
-
The light in their tent will grow dark. The lamp hanging above them will be quenched.
-
The confident stride of the wicked will be shortened. Their own schemes will be their downfall.
-
"The wicked walk into a net. They fall into a pit that's been dug in the path.
-
A trap grabs them by the heel. A noose tightens around them.
-
A snare lies hidden in the ground. A rope lies coiled on their path.
-
"Terrors surround the wicked and trouble them at every step.
-
Their vigor is depleted by hunger, and calamity waits for them to stumble.
-
Disease eats their skin; death devours their limbs.
-
They are torn from the security of their tent, and they are brought down to the king of terrors.
-
The home of the wicked will disappear beneath a fiery barrage of burning sulfur.
-
Their roots will dry up, and their branches will wither.
-
All memory of their existence will perish from the earth. No one will remember them.
-
They will be thrust from light into darkness, driven from the world.
-
They will have neither children nor grandchildren, nor any survivor in their home country.
-
People in the west are appalled at their fate; people in the east are horrified.
-
They will say, `This was the home of a wicked person, the place of one who rejected God.'"
