Job 18:1-10 ▼

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:

2 |How long until you make an end of words? You must consider, and then we can talk.

3 Why should we be regarded as beasts, and considered stupid in your sight?

4 You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, will the earth be abandoned for your sake? Or will a rock be moved from its place?

5 |Yes, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; his flame of fire does not shine.

6 The light in his tent grows dark; his lamp above him is extinguished.

7 His vigorous steps are restricted, and his own counsel throws him down.

8 For he has been thrown into a net by his feet and he wanders into a mesh.

9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare grips him.

10 A rope is hidden for him on the ground and a trap for him lies on the path.
