Job 18
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
| ויען בלדד השחי ויאמר׃ |
2 When will yee make an ende of your words? cause vs to vnderstande, and then wee will speake.
| עד אנה תשימון קנצי למלין תבינו ואחר נדבר׃ |
3 Wherefore are wee counted as beastes, and are vile in your sight?
| מדוע נחשבנו כבהמה נטמינו בעיניכם׃ |
4 Thou art as one that teareth his soule in his anger. Shall the earth bee forsaken for thy sake? or the rocke remoued out of his place?
| טרף נפשו באפו הלמענך תעזב ארץ ויעתק צור ממקמו׃ |
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe quenched, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
| גם אור רשעים ידעך ולא יגה שביב אשו׃ |
6 The light shalbe darke in his dwelling, and his candle shalbe put out with him.
| אור חשך באהלו ונרו עליו ידעך׃ |
7 The steps of his strength shalbe restrained, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.
| יצרו צעדי אונו ותשליכהו עצתו׃ |
8 For hee is taken in the net by his feete, and he walketh vpon the snares.
| כי שלח ברשת ברגליו ועל שבכה יתהלך׃ |
9 The grenne shall take him by the heele, and the theefe shall come vpon him.
| יאחז בעקב פח יחזק עליו צמים׃ |
10 A snare is layed for him in the ground, and a trappe for him in the way.
| טמון בארץ חבלו ומלכדתו עלי נתיב׃ |
11 Fearefulnesse shall make him afrayde on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
| סביב בעתהו בלהות והפיצהו לרגליו׃ |
12 His strength shalbe famine: and destruction shalbe readie at his side.
| יהי רעב אנו ואיד נכון לצלעו׃ |
13 It shall deuoure the inner partes of his skinne, and the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.
| יאכל בדי עורו יאכל בדיו בכור מות׃ |
14 His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall cause him to go to the King of feare.
| ינתק מאהלו מבטחו ותצעדהו למלך בלהות׃ |
15 Feare shall dwell in his house (because it is not his) and brimstone shalbe scattered vpon his habitation.
| תשכון באהלו מבלי לו יזרה על נוהו גפרית׃ |
16 His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his branche be cut downe.
| מתחת שרשיו יבשו וממעל ימל קצירו׃ |
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.
| זכרו אבד מני ארץ ולא שם לו על פני חוץ׃ |
18 They shall driue him out of the light vnto darkenesse, and chase him out of the world.
| יהדפהו מאור אל חשך ומתבל ינדהו׃ |
19 Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephewe among his people, nor any posteritie in his dwellings.
| לא נין לו ולא נכד בעמו ואין שריד במגוריו׃ |
20 The posteritie shalbe astonied at his day, and feare shall come vpon the ancient.
| על יומו נשמו אחרנים וקדמנים אחזו שער׃ |
21 Surely such are the habitations of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
| אך אלה משכנות עול וזה מקום לא ידע אל׃ |
