Job 18:1-10 ▼

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2 “Until when will you? set snares for words? Consider, and afterward we will speak.

3 Why are we regarded as cattle, as stopped up in your? eyes?

4 The one tearing himself in his anger—for your sake will the earth be forsaken and the rock moved from its place?

5 Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, and the flame of his fire does not shine.

6 The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him goes out.

7 The strides of his strength are narrowed, and his counsel casts him down.

8 For he is cast into a net by his feet, and into a mesh he walks.

9 A trap seizes him by the heel, and a snare shall prevail over him.

10 A cord for him is hidden in the ground, and a trap for him upon the path.
