Job 18:1-7

1 Bildad the Shuchi said,
2 "When will you put an end to words? Think about it -then we'll talk!
3 Why are we thought of as cattle, stupid in your view?
4 You can tear yourself to pieces in your anger, but the earth won't be abandoned just for your sake; not even a rock will be moved from its place.
5 "The light of the wicked will flicker and die, not a spark from his fire will shine,
6 the light in his tent is darkened, the lamp over him will be snuffed out.
7 His vigorous stride is shortened, his own plans make him trip and fall.
