Job 18,3

1 Da svarte Bildad fra Sjuah og sa:

2 "Hvor lenge vil du fortsette å lete etter ord?
Vær klok, så kan vi samtale.

Hvorfor blir vi sett på som dyr,
og ansett som tåpelige i dine øyne?

4 Du som river deg selv i sinne,
skal jorden bli forlatt for din skyld,
eller klippen flyttes fra sin plass?

5 "De ondes lys slukkes,
og flammen fra hans ild slutter å skinne.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
