+Job.
+Chapter 18.
+Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
+How long will it be before you have done talking? Get wisdom, and then we will say what is in our minds.
+Why do we seem as beasts in your eyes, and as completely without knowledge?
+But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?
+For the light of the sinner is put out, and the flame of his fire is not shining.
+The light is dark in his tent, and the light shining over him is put out.
+The steps of his strength become short, and by his design destruction overtakes him.
+His feet take him into the net, and he goes walking into the cords.
+His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip.
+The twisted cord is put secretly in the earth to take him, and the cord is placed in his way.
+He is overcome by fears on every side, they go after him at every step.
+His strength is made feeble for need of food, and destruction is waiting for his falling footstep.
+His skin is wasted by disease, and his body is food for the worst of diseases.
+He is pulled out of his tent where he was safe, and he is taken away to the king of fears.
+In his tent will be seen that which is not his, burning stone is dropped on his house.
+Under the earth his roots are dry, and over it his branch is cut off.
+His memory is gone from the earth, and in the open country there is no knowledge of his name.
+He is sent away from the light into the dark; he is forced out of the world.
+He has no offspring or family among his people, and in his living-place there is no one of his name.
+At his fate those of the west are shocked, and those of the east are overcome with fear.
+Truly, these are the houses of the sinner, and this is the place of him who has no knowledge of God.
