Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
1Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:
2“How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.
2[Usque ad quem finem verba jactabitis? intelligite prius, et sic loquamur.
3Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?
3Quare reputati sumus ut jumenta, et sorduimus coram vobis?
4You who tear yourself in anger— should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?
4Qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo, numquid propter te derelinquetur terra, et transferentur rupes de loco suo?
5Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.
5Nonne lux impii extinguetur, nec splendebit flamma ignis ejus?
6The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.
6Lux obtenebrescet in tabernaculo illius, et lucerna quæ super eum est extinguetur.
7His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.
7Arctabuntur gressus virtutis ejus, et præcipitabit eum consilium suum.
8For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.
8Immisit enim in rete pedes suos, et in maculis ejus ambulat.
9A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.
9Tenebitur planta illius laqueo, et exardescet contra eum sitis.
10A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.
10Abscondita est in terra pedica ejus, et decipula illius super semitam.
11Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.
11Undique terrebunt eum formidines, et involvent pedes ejus.
12His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.
12Attenuetur fame robur ejus, et inedia invadat costas illius.
13It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
13Devoret pulchritudinem cutis ejus; consumat brachia illius primogenita mors.
14He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.
14Avellatur de tabernaculo suo fiducia ejus, et calcet super eum, quasi rex, interitus.
15Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.
15Habitent in tabernaculo illius socii ejus qui non est; aspergatur in tabernaculo ejus sulphur.
16The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
16Deorsum radices ejus siccentur: sursum autem atteratur messis ejus.
17The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.
17Memoria illius pereat de terra, et non celebretur nomen ejus in plateis.
18He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.
18Expellet eum de luce in tenebras, et de orbe transferet eum.
19He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.
19Non erit semen ejus, neque progenies in populo suo, nec ullæ reliquiæ in regionibus ejus.
20Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.
20In die ejus stupebunt novissimi, et primos invadet horror.
21Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”
21Hæc sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui, et iste locus ejus qui ignorat Deum.]
