Job 18
1 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 Usque ad quem finem verba iactabitis? intelligite prius, et sic loquamur.
How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Quare reputati sumus ut iumenta, et sorduimus coram vobis?
Why are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight?
4 Qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo, numquid propter te derelinquetur terra, et transferentur rupes de loco suo?
He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place?
5 Nonne lux impii extinguetur, nec splendebit flamma ignis eius?
Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 Lux obtenebrescet in tabernaculo illius, et lucerna, quæ super eum est, extinguetur.
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
7 Arctabuntur gressus virtutis eius, et præcipitabit eum consilium suum.
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8 Immisit enim in rete pedes suos, et in maculis eius ambulat.
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9 Tenebitur planta illius laqueo, et exardescet contra eum sitis.
The gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall prevail against him.
10 Abscondita est in terra pedica eius, et decipula illius super semitam.
The snare [is] laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11 Undique terrebunt eum formidines, et involvent pedes eius.
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12 Attenuetur fame robur eius, et inedia invadat costas illius.
His strength shall be hunger-bitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.
13 Devoret pulchritudinem cutis eius, consumat brachia illius primogenita mors.
It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the first-born of death shall devour his strength.
14 Avellatur de tabernaculo suo fiducia eius, et calcet super eum, quasi rex, interitus.
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15 Habitent in tabernaculo illius socii eius, qui non est, aspergatur in tabernaculo eius sulphur.
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16 Deorsum radices eius siccentur, sursum autem atteratur messis eius.
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 Memoria illius pereat de terra, et non celebretur nomen eius in plateis.
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18 Expellet eum de luce in tenebras, et de orbe transferet eum.
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 Non erit semen eius, neque progenies in populo suo, nec ullæ reliquiæ in regionibus eius.
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 In die eius stupebunt novissimi, et primos invadet horror.
They that come after [him] shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21 Hæc sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui, et iste locus eius, qui ignorat Deum.
Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth not God.
