Job 18
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει
2 “When will you stop your talk? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ ἐπίσχες ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν
3 Why are we regarded as beasts, stupid in your sight?
διὰ τί ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου
4 You who tear at yourself in your anger, should the earth be forsaken for you or should the rocks be removed out of their places?
κέχρηταί σοι ὀργή τί γάρ ἐὰν σὺ ἀποθάνῃς ἀοίκητος ἡ ὑπ’ οὐρανόν ἢ καταστραφήσεται ὄρη ἐκ θεμελίων
5 Indeed, the light of the wicked person will be put out; the spark of his fire will not shine.
καὶ φῶς ἀσεβῶν σβεσθήσεται καὶ οὐκ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ φλόξ
6 The light will be dark in his tent; his lamp above him will be put out.
τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ σκότος ἐν διαίτῃ ὁ δὲ λύχνος ἐπ’ αὐτῷ σβεσθήσεται
7 The steps of his strength will be made short; his own plans will cast him down.
θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή
8 For he will be thrown into a net by his own feet; he will walk into a pitfall.
ἐμβέβληται δὲ ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν παγίδι ἐν δικτύῳ ἑλιχθείη
9 A trap will take him by the heel; a snare will lay hold on him.
ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπ’ αὐτὸν παγίδες κατισχύσει ἐπ’ αὐτὸν διψῶντας
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground; and a trap for him in the way.
κέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ σχοινίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ σύλλημψις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρίβων
11 Terrors will make him afraid on every side; they will chase him at his heels.
κύκλῳ ὀλέσαισαν αὐτὸν ὀδύναι πολλοὶ δὲ περὶ πόδας αὐτοῦ ἔλθοισαν ἐν λιμῷ στενῷ
12 His wealth will turn into hunger, and calamity will be ready at his side.
πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον
13 The parts of his body will be devoured; indeed, the firstborn of death will devour his parts.
βρωθείησαν αὐτοῦ κλῶνες ποδῶν κατέδεται δὲ τὰ ὡραῖα αὐτοῦ θάνατος
14 He is torn from the safety of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.
ἐκραγείη δὲ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ
15 People not his own will live in his tent after they see that sulfur is scattered within his home.
κατασκηνώσει ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν νυκτὶ αὐτοῦ κατασπαρήσονται τὰ εὐπρεπῆ αὐτοῦ θείῳ
16 His roots will be dried up beneath; above will his branch be cut off.
ὑποκάτωθεν αἱ ῥίζαι αὐτοῦ ξηρανθήσονται καὶ ἐπάνωθεν ἐπιπεσεῖται θερισμὸς αὐτοῦ
17 His memory will perish from the earth; he will have no name in the street.
τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ἀπόλοιτο ἐκ γῆς καὶ ὑπάρχει ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐξωτέρω
18 He will be driven from light into darkness and be chased out of this world.
ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος
19 He will have no son or son's son among his people, nor any remaining kinfolk where he had stayed.
οὐκ ἔσται ἐπίγνωστος ἐν λαῷ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ σεσῳσμένος ἐν τῇ ὑπ’ οὐρανὸν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ ἀλλ’ ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῦ ζήσονται ἕτεροι
20 Those who live in the west will be horrified at what happens to him one day; those who live in the east will be frightened by it.
ἐπ’ αὐτῷ ἐστέναξαν ἔσχατοι πρώτους δὲ ἔσχεν θαῦμα
21 Surely such are the homes of unrighteous people, the places of those who do not know God.”
οὗτοί εἰσιν οἶκοι ἀδίκων οὗτος δὲ ὁ τόπος τῶν μὴ εἰδότων τὸν κύριον
