[1] Bildad's Second Speech Bildad from Shuah said: [2] How long will you talk? Be sensible! Let us speak. [3] Or do you think that we are dumb animals? [4] You cut yourself in anger. Will that shake the earth or even move the rocks? [5] The lamps of sinful people soon are snuffed out, [6] leaving their tents dark. [7] Their powerful legs become weak, and they stumble on schemes of their own doing. [8] Before they know it, [9] they are trapped in a net, [10] hidden along the path. [11] Terror strikes and pursues from every side. [12] Starving, they run, only to meet disaster, [13] then afterwards to be eaten alive by death itself. [14] Those sinners are dragged from the safety of their tents to die a gruesome death. [15] Then their tents and possessions are burned to ashes, [16] and they are left like trees, dried up from the roots. [17] They are gone and forgotten, [18] thrown far from the light into a world of darkness, [19] without any children to carry on their name. [20] Everyone, from east to west, is overwhelmed with horror. [21] Such is the fate of sinners and their families who don't know God.
