Bildad’s Second Speech
18:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered :
18:2 “How long until you make an end of words ? You must consider , and then we can talk .
18:3 Why should we be regarded as beasts , and considered stupid in your sight ?
18:4 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 ?
18:5 “Yes , the lamp of the wicked is extinguished ; his flame of fire does not shine .
18:6 The light in his tent grows dark ; his lamp above him is extinguished .
