The nature of the wicked

In the 18th chapter from the book of Job, Bildad, one of the friends seated with him, responded to Job's latest tirade.

First, he scorned Job for speaking to his friends like they were animals, that they were stupid.  But he sid, despite his anger, will that do any good?  Will the earth tremble from his mere words?

Then, Bildad goes on to describe the nature of those who are wicked.  Those who are wicked, those who reject God, will live in darkness, they are living in a constant trap in their lives.  They will have no descendants to honor their lives.  He goes on and on, describing the vile ways in which those who reject the Lord, the wicked, will live an appalling life.  They will have no survivors, and the only remembrance will be those who cherish and honor the Lord. for they will say, "This is the home of a wicked person."  Their reputation will follow them to the grave.
