The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 18 of Job. Bildad again describes the destiny of the wicked through a long series of images of darkness, traps, loss, and terror. The speech presents a traditional pattern of judgment against the wicked, but its implicit application to Job becomes increasingly problematic. The description of the wicked person’s fate functions almost as a personal accusation.

Seine kräftigen Schritte werden in die Enge kommen, und sein Anschlag wird ihn fällen.
Los pasos de su pujanza serán acortados, Y precipitaralo su mismo consejo.
Sus pasos vigorosos se acortarán y sus propios planes lo harán caer.
Ses pas assurés seront à l'étroit; Malgré ses efforts, il tombera.
I lor fieri passi saran ristretti, E il lor proprio consiglio li traboccherà abbasso;
Os seus passos firmes se estreitarão, e o seu próprio conselho o derrubará.
他強橫的腳步必遭阻礙, 他的計謀必將自己絆倒。
