Job 18

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said:

1 Then Bildad from Shuah replied [to Job],

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

2 "How long before your words will end? Think it through, and then we'll talk.

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

3 Why do you think of us as cattle? Why are we considered stupid in your eyes?

4 He teareth himself in his anger. Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? And shall the rock be removed out of his place?

4 Why do you rip yourself apart in anger? Should the earth be abandoned for your sake or a boulder be dislodged?

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

5 "Indeed, the light of the wicked is snuffed out. The flame of his fire stops glowing.

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

6 The light in his tent becomes dark, and the lamp above him is snuffed out.

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

7 "His healthy stride is shortened, and his own planning trips him up.

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

8 His own feet get him tangled in a net as he walks around on its webbing.

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

9 A trap catches his heel. A snare holds him.

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

10 A rope is hidden on the ground for him. A trap is on his path [to catch] him.

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

11 "Terrors suddenly pounce on him from every side and chase him every step he takes.

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

12 Hunger undermines his strength. Disaster is waiting beside him.

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

13 His skin is eaten away by disease. Death's firstborn son eats away at the limbs of his body.

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

14 He is dragged from the safety of his tent and marched off 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.

15 Fire lives in his tent. Sulfur is scattered over his home.

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

16 His roots dry up under him. His branches wither over him.

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

17 All memory about him will vanish from the earth, and his reputation will not be known on the street corner.

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

18 He will be driven from the light into the dark and chased out of the world.

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

19 He will not have any children or descendants among his people or any survivor where he used to live.

20 They that come after him shall be dismayed at his day, as they that went before were frightened.

20 People in the west are shocked by what happens to him. People in the east are seized with horror.

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

21 This is what happens to the homes of wicked people and to those who do not know God."
