[1] Then aunswered Bildad the Suhite, and saide
[2] When wyll ye make an ende of your wordes? Marke well, and then we wyll speake
[3] Wherfore are we counted as beastes, and reputed so vyle in your sight
[4] He destroyeth him selfe with his anger: Shall the earth be forsaken, or any stone remoued out of his place because of thee
[5] Yea, the light of the vngodly shalbe put out, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine
[6] The light shall be darke in his dwelling, and his candle shall be put out with him
[7] The steppes of his strength shalbe restrayned, and his owne counsaile shall cast him downe
[8] For his feete are taken [as it were] in the net, & he walketh vpon the snares
[9] The grinne shall take him by the heele, and it shall catche him that is thirstie of blood
[10] The snare is layde for him in the grounde, and a pitfall in the way
[11] Fearefulnesse shall make him afraide on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete
[12] Hunger shalbe his strength, and destruction shalbe redye at his side
[13] It shall eate the strength of his owne skinne, euen the first borne of death shall eate his strength
[14] His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall bring him to the king of feare
[15] Other men shall dwell in his house, and it shalbe none of his, and brimstone shall be scattered vpon his habitation
[16] His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his braunche be cut downe
[17] His remembraunce shall perishe from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete
[18] They shall driue him from the light into darkenesse, and chaste him cleane out of the worlde
[19] He shall neither haue children nor kinsfolkes among his people, no nor any posteritie in his dwellinges
[20] They that come after him, shalbe astonyed at his day, and they that go before shalbe afrayde
[21] Such are now the dwellinges of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God
