Job 18
Jubilee Bible 2000
18 ¶ Then Bildad, the Shuhite, answered and said,
2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? Understand, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Why are we counted as beasts? Are we vile in your sight?
4 O thou that dost tear thy soul in thine anger; shall the earth be forsaken because of thee and shall the rocks be removed out of their place?
5 ¶ The light of the wicked shall certainly be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his lamp shall be put out with him.
7 The steps of his strength shall be cut down, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8 For a net shall be cast at his feet, and he shall walk upon a network.
9 The snare shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
10 The cord is hidden in the ground and a trap for him in the way.
11 ¶ Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and his own feet shall drive him away.
12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13 They shall devour the protection of his skin; the firstborn of death shall devour his members.
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
15 He shall dwell in his tent, as if it were not his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above his branch shall be cut off.
17 His memory shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the streets.
18 He shall be driven from the light into the darkness and chased out of the world.
19 He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any to succeed him in his dwellings.
20 Those that come after him shall be dismayed at his day, as those that went before were overcome with fear.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that does not know God.

Bildad
18 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “When will you end these speeches?(B)
Be sensible, and then we can talk.
3 Why are we regarded as cattle(C)
and considered stupid in your sight?(D)
4 You who tear yourself(E) to pieces in your anger,(F)
is the earth to be abandoned for your sake?
Or must the rocks be moved from their place?(G)
5 “The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out;(H)
the flame of his fire stops burning.(I)
6 The light in his tent(J) becomes dark;(K)
the lamp beside him goes out.(L)
7 The vigor(M) of his step is weakened;(N)
his own schemes(O) throw him down.(P)
8 His feet thrust him into a net;(Q)
he wanders into its mesh.
9 A trap seizes him by the heel;
a snare(R) holds him fast.(S)
10 A noose(T) is hidden for him on the ground;
a trap(U) lies in his path.(V)
11 Terrors(W) startle him on every side(X)
and dog(Y) his every step.
12 Calamity(Z) is hungry(AA) for him;
disaster(AB) is ready for him when he falls.(AC)
13 It eats away parts of his skin;(AD)
death’s firstborn devours his limbs.(AE)
14 He is torn from the security of his tent(AF)
and marched off to the king(AG) of terrors.(AH)
15 Fire resides[a] in his tent;(AI)
burning sulfur(AJ) is scattered over his dwelling.
16 His roots dry up below(AK)
and his branches wither above.(AL)
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth;(AM)
he has no name(AN) in the land.(AO)
18 He is driven from light into the realm of darkness(AP)
and is banished(AQ) from the world.(AR)
19 He has no offspring(AS) or descendants(AT) among his people,
no survivor(AU) where once he lived.(AV)
20 People of the west are appalled(AW) at his fate;(AX)
those of the east are seized with horror.
21 Surely such is the dwelling(AY) of an evil man;(AZ)
such is the place(BA) of one who does not know God.”(BB)
