Job 18 · Grade 3
The Lamp Put Out
Read the Story
Bildad spoke a second time. He asked Job, How long will you hunt for words? He asked why Job counted the friends as animals.
Bildad said, Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out. He said a trap waits for the wicked on the path.
Bildad ended, Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God. Bildad meant that Job did not know God. But Job did know God. God later said the friends had not spoken what was right.
