Job 18:1-7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,

2. "How long will you hunt for words? Show understanding and then we can talk.

3. "Why are we regarded as beasts, As stupid in your eyes?

4. "O you who tear yourself in your anger- For your sake is the earth to be abandoned, Or the rock to be moved from its place?

5. "Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, And the flame of his fire gives no light.

6. "The light in his tent is darkened, And his lamp goes out above him.

7. "His vigorous stride is shortened, And his own scheme brings him down.
