1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2 “How long will it be until you put an end to words?Gain understanding, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Why are we counted as beastsand regarded as stupid in your sight?
4 You who tear yourself in anger,will the earth be forsaken for you?And will the rock be removed from its place?
5 “Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out,and the spark of his fire will not shine.
6 The light will be dark in his tent,and his candle beside him will be put out.
7 The steps of his strength will be shortened,and his own counsel will cast him down.
