Job 18:1-4
American Standard Version
18 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long will ye hunt for words?
Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts,
And are become unclean in your sight?
4 Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger,
Shall the earth be forsaken for thee?
Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
Job 18:1-4

18 Then[a] Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
2 “How long[b] will you[c] hunt for words?[d]
Consider,[e] and afterward we shall speak.
3 Why are we considered as animals?
Why are we taken as[f] stupid in your[g] eyes?
4 “You who are tearing yourself[h] in your[i] anger,
will the earth be forsaken because of you?[j]
Or[k] will the rock be removed from its place?
