Job 18:1-10 ▼

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2 “How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

3 Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?

4 You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?

5 “Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.

6 The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.

7 The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.

9 A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.

10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
