Job 18:1-8

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak.

2 “When will you end these speeches? Be sensible, and then we can talk.

3 Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes!

3 Why are we regarded as cattle and considered stupid in your sight?

4 (He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place?

4 You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake? Or must the rocks be moved from their place?

5 Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire.

5 “The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning.

6 The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.

6 The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out.

7 Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.

7 The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down.

8 For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.

8 His feet thrust him into a net; he wanders into its mesh.
