1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
[mhcc]
[tsk]
2 "When will you end these speeches? Be sensible, and then we can talk.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
3 Why are we regarded as cattle and considered stupid in your sight?
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
4 You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake? Or must the rocks be moved from their place?
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
5 "The lamp of the wicked is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
[jfb]
[tsk]
6 The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out.
[jfb]
[tsk]
7 The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down.
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
8 His feet thrust him into a net and he wanders into its mesh.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast.
[jfb]
[tsk]
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path.
[tsk]
11 Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step.
[mhcc]
[jfb]
[tsk]
12 Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
13 It eats away parts of his skin; death's firstborn devours his limbs.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
14 He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
16 His roots dry up below and his branches wither above.
[jfb]
[tsk]
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land.
[jfb]
[tsk]
18 He is driven from light into darkness and is banished from the world.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
19 He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived.
[jfb]
[tsk]
20 Men of the west are appalled at his fate; men of the east are seized with horror.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
21 Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who knows not God."
[jfb]
[jwc]
[tsk]
