## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Bildad’s Second Speech
[[#Verse 01.]] Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
[[#Verse 02.]] “How long until you make an end of words?
You must consider, and then we can talk.
[[#Verse 03.]] Why should we be regarded as beasts,
and considered stupid in your sight?
[[#Verse 04.]] You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger,
will the earth be abandoned for your sake?
Or will a rock be moved from its place?
[[#Verse 05.]] “Yes, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished;
his flame of fire does not shine.
[[#Verse 06]] The light in his tent grows dark;
his lamp above him is extinguished.
[[#Verse 07.]] His vigorous steps are restricted,
and his own counsel throws him down.
[[#Verse 08.]] For he has been thrown into a net by his feet
and he wanders into a mesh.
[[#Verse 09.]] A trap seizes him by the heel;
a snare grips him.
[[#Verse 10.]] A rope is hidden for him on the ground
and a trap for him lies on the path.
[[#Verse 11.]] Terrors frighten him on all sides
and dog his every step.
[[#Verse 12.]] Calamity is hungry for him,
and misfortune is ready at his side.
[[#Verse 13.]] It eats away parts of his skin;
the most terrible death devours his limbs.
[[#Verse 14.]] He is dragged from the security of his tent,
and marched off to the king of terrors.
[[#Verse 15.]] Fire resides in his tent;
over his residence burning sulfur is scattered.
[[#Verse 16.]] Below his roots dry up,
and his branches wither above.
[[#Verse 17.]] His memory perishes from the earth,
he has no name in the land.
[[#Verse 18.]] He is driven from light into darkness
and is banished from the world.
[[#Verse 19.]] He has neither children nor descendants among his people,
no survivor in those places he once stayed.
[[#Verse 20.]] People of the west are appalled at his fate;
people of the east are seized with horror, saying,
[[#Verse 21.]] ‘Surely such is the residence of an evil man;
and this is the place of one who has not known God.’”
