Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2
"How long till you put an end to words? Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.
3
Why are we counted as beasts, And regarded as stupid in your sight?
4
You who tear yourself in anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed from its place?
5
"The light of the wicked indeed goes out, And the flame of his fire does not shine.
6
The light is dark in his tent, And his lamp beside him is put out.
7
The steps of his strength are shortened, And his own counsel casts him down.
8
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walks into a snare.
9
The net takes him by the heel, And a snare lays hold of him.
