Job 18 📜 📕 ↷
Bildad: God Punishes the Wicked
1 BUT Baldad the Suhite answering, said:📜💬📚
2 How long will ye speak vaunting words? Understand ye first, and so let us speak.📜💬📚
3 Why are we reputed as beasts, and accounted vile before you?📜💬📚
4 Which destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be transported out of their place?📜💬📚
5 Shall not the light of the impious be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine?📜💬📚
6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the candle that is over him, shall be extinguished.📜💬📚
7 The steps of his power shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong.📜💬📚
8 For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in the mashes thereof.📜💬📚
9 The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him.📜💬📚
10 His gin is hid in the earth, and his spring upon the path.📜💬📚
11 Fears shall terrify him on every side, and his feet shall entangle him.📜💬📚
12 Let his strength be extenuated with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs.📜💬📚
13 Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let death the first-born consume his arms.📜💬📚
14 Let his confidence be plucked away out of his tabernacle, and let destruction as a king tread upon him.📜💬📚
15 Let the companions of him, that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent.📜💬📚
16 Let his roots be dried downward, and his harvest destroyed upward.📜💬📚
17 Let the memory of him perish from the earth, and let not his name be renowned in the streets.📜💬📚
18 He shall expel him out of light into darkness, and shall transport him out of the world.📜💬📚
19 His seed shall not be, nor his progeny in his people, nor any remnants in his countries.📜💬📚
20 In his day, the last shall be astonished, and horror shall invade the first.📜💬📚
21 These are then the tabernacles of the wicked man, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.📜💬📚
