< Job 18 >
1 Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —
And he answered Bildad the Shuhite and he said.
2 How long will ye make a perversion of words? Ye should understand, and, afterwards, we could speak.
Until when? - will you make! ends of words you will consider and after we will speak.
3 Wherefore are we accounted like beasts? or appear stupid, in thine eyes?
Why? are we regarded like cattle are we considered stupid? in view your.
4 One tearing in pieces his own soul in his anger, —For thy sake, shall the earth be forsaken? or the rock be moved out of its place?
O [one who] tears self his in anger his ¿ for sake your may it be abandoned [the] earth so it may move? a rock from place its.
5 Even the light of the lawless, shall go out, —Neither shall shine the flame of his fire;
Also [the] light of wicked [people] it is extinguished and not it shines [the] flame of fire his.
6 The light, hath darkened in his tent, Yea, his lamp above him, goeth out;
[the] light It grows dark in tent his and lamp his above him it is extinguished.
7 The steppings of his strength are hemmed in, and his own counsel casteth him down;
They are restricted [the] steps of vigor his and it throws down him own plan[s] his.
8 For he is thrust into a net by his own feet, and, upon a trap, he marcheth;
For he is caught in a net by feet his and on a network he walks about.
9 There catcheth him—by the heel—a gin, there holdeth him fast—a noose:
It takes hold on a heel a trap it takes hold on him a snare.
10 Concealed in the ground is a cord for him, —and a snare for him, on the path.
[is] hidden On the ground rope his and trap his on [the] path.
11 Round about, terrors have startled him, and have driven him to his feet.
All around they terrify him sudden terror and they scatter him to feet his.
12 Let his strength be famished, and, calamity, be ready at his side;
It is hungry trouble his and disaster [is] prepared for stumbling his.
13 Let it devour the members of his body, Let the firstborn of death devour his members;
It consumes [the] parts of skin his it consumes parts his [the] firstborn of death.
14 Uprooted, out of his tent, be his confidence, and let it drive him down to the king of terrors;
He is torn away from tent his trust his and it makes march him to [the] king of sudden terror.
15 There shall dwell in his tent, what is naught-of-his, Let brimstone be strewed over his dwelling;
It dwells in tent his because not [belonging] to him it is scattered over estate his sulfur.
16 Beneath, let his roots be dried up, and, above, be cut off his branch;
Beneath roots his they are dried up and above it withers branch[es] his.
17 His memorial, have perished out of the land, and let him have no name over the face of the open field;
Memory his it perishes from [the] earth and not a name [belongs] to him on [the] face of [the] street.
18 Let them thrust him out of light into darkness, Yea, out of the world, let them chase him;
People drive him from light into darkness and from [the] world they chase away him.
19 Let him have neither scion nor seed among his people, neither any survivor in his place of sojourn:
Not posterity [belongs] to him and not progeny [is] among people his and there not [is] a survivor in sojourning-places his.
20 Over his day, have they been astounded who come behind, and, them who are in advance, a shudder hath seized.
On day his they are appalled [those] behind and [those] before they take hold of a shudder.
21 Surely, these, are the dwellings of him that is perverse, and, this, is the place of him that knoweth not GOD.
Surely these [are] [the] dwelling places of an evil-doer and this [is the] place of [one who] not he knows God.
