017:007 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow. 017:008 Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless. 017:009 Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger. 017:010 But as for you all, come on now again; I shall not find a wise man among you. 017:011 My days are past, my plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart. 017:012 They change the night into day, saying 'The light is near' in the presence of darkness. 017:013 If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness, 017:014 If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;' to the worm, 'My mother,' and 'my sister;' 017:015 where then is my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? 017:016 Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?" 018:001 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, 018:002 "How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak. 018:003 Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight? 018:004 You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place? 018:005 "Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine. 018:006 The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out. 018:007 The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down. 018:008 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh. 018:009 A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him. 018:010 A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the way. 018:011 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels. 018:012 His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side. 018:013 The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members. 018:014 He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors. 018:015 There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation. 018:016 His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off. 018:017 His memory shall perish from the earth. He shall have no name in the street. 018:018 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. 018:019 He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned. 018:020 Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened. 018:021 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."
