18:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
18:2 How long will it be before you have done talking? Get wisdom, and then we will say what is in our minds.
18:3 Why do we seem as beasts in your eyes, and as completely without knowledge?
18:4 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?
18:5 For the light of the sinner is put out, and the flame of his fire is not shining.
18:6 The light is dark in his tent, and the light shining over him is put out.
18:7 The steps of his strength become short, and by his design destruction overtakes him.
18:8 His feet take him into the net, and he goes walking into the cords.
18:9 His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip.
18:10 The twisted cord is put secretly in the earth to take him, and the cord is placed in his way.
18:11 He is overcome by fears on every side, they go after him at every step.
