1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 How long will ye lay snares for words? consider, and afterwards we will speak.

3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and are become unclean in your sight?

4 Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? or shall the rock be removed out of its place?

5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

6 The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp above him shall be put out.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.

9 A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.

10 A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
