Job 18
1 Forsothe Baldach Suythes answeride, and seide,
| וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשֻּׁחִי וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
2 `Til to what ende schalt thou booste with wordis? Vndurstonde thou first, and so speke we.
| עַד־אָנָה ׀ תְּשִׂימוּן קִנְצֵי לְמִלִּין תָּבִינוּ וְאַחַר נְדַבֵּֽר׃ |
3 Whi ben we arettid as beestis, and han we be foule bifor thee?
| מַדּוּעַ נֶחְשַׁבְנוּ כַבְּהֵמָה נִטְמִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיכֶֽם׃ |
4 What leesist thou thi soule in thi woodnes? Whether the erthe schal be forsakun `for thee, and hard stoonys schulen be borun ouer fro her place?
| טֹרֵף נַפְשׁוֹ בְּאַפּוֹ הַֽלְמַעַנְךָ תֵּעָזַב אָרֶץ וְיֶעְתַּק־צוּר מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃ |
5 Whethir the liyt of a wickid man schal not be quenchid; and the flawme of his fier schal not schyne?
| גַּם אוֹר רְשָׁעִים יִדְעָךְ וְלֹא־יִגַּהּ שְׁבִיב אִשּֽׁוֹ׃ |
6 Liyt schal wexe derke in his tabernacle; and the lanterne, which is on hym, schal be quenchid.
| אוֹר חָשַׁךְ בְּאׇהֳלוֹ וְנֵרוֹ עָלָיו יִדְעָֽךְ׃ |
7 The steppis of his vertu schulen be maad streit; and his counsel schal caste hym doun.
| יֵצְרוּ צַעֲדֵי אוֹנוֹ וְֽתַשְׁלִיכֵהוּ עֲצָתֽוֹ׃ |
8 For he hath sent hise feet in to a net; and he goith in the meschis therof.
| כִּֽי־שֻׁלַּח בְּרֶשֶׁת בְּרַגְלָיו וְעַל־שְׂבָכָה יִתְהַלָּֽךְ׃ |
9 His foot schal be holdun with a snare; and thirst schal brenne out ayens hym.
| יֹאחֵז בְּעָקֵב פָּח יַחֲזֵק עָלָיו צַמִּֽים׃ |
10 The foot trappe of hym is hid in the erthe, and his snare on the path.
| טָמוּן בָּאָרֶץ חַבְלוֹ וּמַלְכֻּדְתּוֹ עֲלֵי נָתִֽיב׃ |
11 Dredis schulen make hym aferd on ech side, and schulen biwlappe hise feet.
| סָבִיב בִּעֲתֻהוּ בַלָּהוֹת וֶהֱפִיצֻהוּ לְרַגְלָֽיו׃ |
12 His strengthe be maad feble bi hungur; and pouert asaile hise ribbis.
| יְהִֽי־רָעֵב אֹנוֹ וְאֵיד נָכוֹן לְצַלְעֽוֹ׃ |
13 Deuoure it the fairnesse of his skyn; the firste gendrid deth waste hise armes.
| יֹאכַל בַּדֵּי עוֹרוֹ יֹאכַל בַּדָּיו בְּכוֹר מָֽוֶת׃ |
14 His trist be takun awei fro his tabernacle; and perischyng, as a kyng, aboue trede on hym.
| יִנָּתֵק מֵאׇהֳלוֹ מִבְטַחוֹ וְתַצְעִדֵהוּ לְמֶלֶךְ בַּלָּהֽוֹת׃ |
15 The felowis of hym that is not, dwelle in his tabernacle; brymston be spreynt in his tabernacle.
| תִּשְׁכּוֹן בְּאׇהֳלוֹ מִבְּלִילוֹ יְזֹרֶה עַל־נָוֵהוּ גׇפְרִֽית׃ |
16 The rootis of hym be maad drie bynethe; sotheli his ripe corn be al to-brokun aboue.
| מִתַּחַת שׇׁרָשָׁיו יִבָשׁוּ וּמִמַּעַל יִמַּל קְצִירֽוֹ׃ |
17 His mynde perische fro the erthe; and his name be not maad solempne in stretis.
| זִֽכְרוֹ־אָבַד מִנִּי־אָרֶץ וְלֹא־שֵׁם לוֹ עַל־פְּנֵי־חֽוּץ׃ |
18 He schal put hym out fro `liyt in to derknessis; and he schal bere hym ouer fro the world.
| יֶהְדְּפֻהוּ מֵאוֹר אֶל־חֹשֶׁךְ וּֽמִתֵּבֵל יְנִדֻּֽהוּ׃ |
19 Nethir his seed nether kynrede schal be in his puple, nether ony relifs in hise cuntreis.
| לֹא נִין לוֹ וְלֹא־נֶכֶד בְּעַמּוֹ וְאֵין שָׂרִיד בִּמְגוּרָֽיו׃ |
20 The laste men schulen wondre in hise daies; and hidousnesse schal asaile the firste men.
| עַל־יוֹמוֹ נָשַׁמּוּ אַחֲרֹנִים וְקַדְמֹנִים אָחֲזוּ שָֽׂעַר׃ |
21 Therfor these ben the tabernaclis of a wickid man; and this is the place of hym, that knowith not God.
| אַךְ־אֵלֶּה מִשְׁכְּנוֹת עַוָּל וְזֶה מְקוֹם לֹֽא־יָדַֽע־אֵֽל׃ |
