18:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

18:2 How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak:

18:3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight:

18:4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place:
