Bildad’s Second Speech
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?

Bildad Speaks
18 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 How long until you stop talking?
Show some sense, and then we can talk.
3 Why are we regarded as cattle,
as stupid in your sight?
4 You who tear yourself in anger[a]—
should the earth be abandoned on your account,
or a rock be removed from its place?
