Job 18:2 in context

The verses around it, from Job 18.

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 “How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.

3 Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?

4 You who tear yourself in anger—should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?

5 Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.

6 The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.
