1. And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --
2. When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak.
3. Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes!
4. (He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place?
5. Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire.
6. The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.
7. Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.
8. For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.
9. Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing.
10. Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.
