From Textus Receptus

Revision as of 22:54, 6 July 2010

• 1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

• 2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

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

• 4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

• 5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

• 6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

• 7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

• 8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

• 9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.

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

• 11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

• 12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

• 13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

• 14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

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

• 16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.

• 17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

• 18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

• 19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

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

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