CHAP. XVIII.

VT Baldad the Suhite answering, sayd: How long wil ye speake vaunting words? vnderstand ye first, and so let vs speake. Why are we reputed as beasts, and accounted vile before you? Which destroyest thy soule in thy furie, shal the earth be forsaken for thee, and shal rockes be transported out of their place? Shal not the light of the impious be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine? The light shal be darke in his tabernacle, and the candel that is ouer him, shal be extinguished. The steps of his power shal be straytned, and his owne counsel shal cast him downe headlong. For he hath thrust his feete into a net, and walketh in the mashes therof. The sole of his foote shal be held in a snare, and thirst shal burne against him. His ginne is hid in the earth, and his spring vpon the path. Feares shal terrifie him on euerie side, and his feet shal entangle him. Let his strength be extenuated with famine, and let hunger inuade his ribbes. Let it deuoure the beautie of his skinne, let death the first-borne consume his armes. Let his confidence be plucked away out of his tabernacle, and let destruction as a King tread vpon him. Let the companions of him, that is not, dwel in his tabernacle, let brimston be sprinkled in his tent. Let his rootes be dried downward, and his haruest destroyed vpward. Let the memorie of him perish from the earth, and let not his name be renowmed in the streets. He shal expel him out of light into darkenesse, and shal transport him out of the world. His seed shal not be, nor his progenie in his people, nor anie remnants in his countries. In his daie the last shal be astonished, and horrour shal inuade the first. These are then the tabernacles of the wicked man, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. Rh
