CHAP. XVIII.

1 Bildad reproueth Iob of presumption and impatiencie. 5 The calamities of the wicked.

¹ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said,

² How long will it bee, ere you make an ende of words? Marke, and afterwards we will speake.

³ Wherefore are wee counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

⁴ He teareth himselfe in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rocke bee remooued out of his place?⁴

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

⁶ The light shalbe darke in his tabernacle, and his candle shalbe put out with him.⁶

⁷ The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.

⁸ For hee is cast into a net by his owne feete, & he walketh vpon a snare.

⁹ The grinne shall take him by the heele, and the robber shall preuaile against him.

¹⁰ The snare is laide for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.¹⁰

¹¹ Terrours shall make him afraid on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.¹¹

¹² His strength shalbe hunger-bitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

¹³ It shall deuoure the strength of his skinne: euen the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.¹³

¹⁴ His confidence shalbe rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrours.¹⁴

¹⁵ It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered vpon his habitation.

¹⁶ His rootes shall be dryed vp beneath: and aboue shall his branch be cut off.

¹⁷ His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and hee shall haue no name in the streete.¹⁷

¹⁸ He shall be driuen from light into darkenesse, and chased out of the world.¹⁸

¹⁹ Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

²⁰ They that come after him shalbe astonied at his day, as they that went before, were affrighted.²⁰

²¹ Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
