Chapter 18.

Den Bildad, di Shuhite man, answer: “How long you go dey hunt for word? Show small sense, den we fit talk. Why una dey treat us like cow, dey count us as mumu for your eye? You wey dey tear yourself into pieces for your vex—abi make dem leave di earth because of you, or make di rock comot from im place? Yes, di light of di wicked person go quench, and di flame of im fire go dark. Di light for im tent go turn dark, and di lamp wey dey on top am go off. Im strong strong steps go cut short, and na im own plan go throw am down. Na im own leg dey drive am enter net, and e dey waka straight enter di trap. Trap catch am for im heel; snare hold am tight. Dem hide rope for am for inside ground, and trap dey wait for am for im road. Fear dey shock am from every side and dey chase am for im heel. Hunger don finish im power, and wahala don ready for im fall. E dey chop patches of im skin; di firstborn of death dey chop im hand and leg. ^a Dem tear am comot from di safe place of im tent and march am go meet di king of terror. Fire settle for im tent, wey no be im own again; dem scatter burning sulfur all over im house. Im root dry for ground below, and im branch wither for up. Nobody go remember am for di earth again, and e no get name for di street. Dem drive am from light enter darkness and chase am comot from di world. E no leave pikin or grandpikin among im people, nobody wey survive for di place wey e bin dey live. People for di west dey shock about wetin happen to am, and people for di east dey shake with fear. For true, na so e dey happen to di house of di wicked person, di place of di person wey no know God.”
