1 Bildad from Shuhah chimed in:
2 Get serious! We need to get down to business.
3 You look down on us as if we don't know anything.
4 Do you want the world redesigned to suit you? Should reality be suspended to accommodate you?
5 Their flame dies down and is extinguished.
6 every lamp in the place goes out.
7 they stumble into their own traps.
8 in their own red tape,
9 their necks in a noose.
10 and fall into pits they've dug themselves.
11 They run helter-skelter.
12 to gobble them up for supper,
13 a treat for ravenous Death.
14 and marched straight to the death house.
15 acid rain soaks their ruins.
16 and their branches wither.
17 nameless in unmarked graves.
18 banished from the world.
19 nothing to show for their life on this earth.
20 easterners are horrified:
21 This is how the God-ignorant end up!' "
