Bildad Answers Job
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2“When will you stop these speeches?
Be sensible, and then we can talk.
3You think of us as cattle,
as if we are stupid.
4You tear yourself to pieces in your anger.
Should the earth be vacant just for you?
Should the rocks move from their places?
5“The lamp of the wicked will be put out,
and the flame in their lamps will stop burning.
6The light in their tents will grow dark,
and the lamps by their sides will go out.
7Their strong steps will grow weak;
they will fall into their own evil traps.
8Their feet will be caught in a net
when they walk into its web.
9A trap will catch them by the heel
and hold them tight.
10A trap for them is hidden on the ground,
right in their path.
11Terrible things startle them from every side
and chase them at every step.
12Hunger takes away their strength,
and disaster is at their side.
13Disease eats away parts of their skin;
death gnaws at their arms and legs.
14They are torn from the safety of their tents
and dragged off to Death, the King of Terrors.
15Their tents are set on fire,
and sulfur is scattered over their homes.
16Their roots dry up below ground,
and their branches die above ground.
17People on earth will not remember them;
their names will be forgotten in the land.
18They will be driven from light into darkness
and chased out of the world.
19They have no children or descendants among their people,
and no one will be left alive where they once lived.
20People of the west will be shocked at what has happened to them,
and people of the east will be very frightened.
21Surely this is what will happen to the wicked;
such is the place of one who does not know God.”
