Job 18:1

Verse 1 of 21. The 18th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

3Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?

4You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?

5“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
