1. 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.
