1Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει·
2How long will you throw out words? understand first, and so let us speak.
2μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ; ἐπίσχες, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν.
3Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before you?
3διατὶ δὲ ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου;
4Thou that destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be removed out of their place?
4κέχρηταί σοι ὀργή· τί γάρ; ἐὰν σὺ ἀποθάνῃς, ἀοίκητος ἡ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν; ἢ καταστραφήσεται ὄρη ἐκ θεμελίων;
5Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine?
5καὶ φῶς ἀσεβῶν σβεσθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ φλόξ·
6The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him, shall be put out.
6τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ σκότος ἐν διαίτῃ, ὁ δὲ λύχνος ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ σβεσθήσεται.
7The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong.
7θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή.
8For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in its meshes.
8ἐμβέβληται δὲ ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν παγίδι, ἐν δικτύῳ ἑλιχθείη.
9The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him.
9ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν παγίδες, κατισχύσει ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν διψῶντας.
10A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon the path.
10κέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ σχοινίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ σύλληψις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρίβων.
11Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle his feet.
11κύκλῳ ὀλέσαισαν αὐτὸν ὀδύναι, πολλοὶ δὲ περὶ πόδα αὐτοῦ ἔλθοισαν
12Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs.
12ἐν λιμῷ στενῷ. πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον.
13Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn death consume his arms.
13βρωθείησαν αὐτοῦ κλῶνες ποδῶν, κατέδεται δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὡραῖα θάνατος.
14Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let destruction tread upon him like a king.
14ἐκραγείη δὲ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις, σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ.
15Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent.
15κατασκηνώσει ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν νυκτὶ αὐτοῦ, κατασπαρήσονται τὰ εὐπρεπῆ αὐτοῦ θείῳ.
16Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed above.
16ὑποκάτωθεν αἱ ρίζαι αὐτοῦ ξηρανθήσονται, καὶ ἐπάνωθεν ἐπιπεσεῖται θερισμὸς αὐτοῦ.
17Let the memory of him perish from the earth and let not his name be renowned in the streets.
17τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ἀπόλοιτο ἐκ γῆς, καὶ ὑπάρξει ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐξωτέρω.
18He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall remove him out of the world.
18ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος.
19His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people, nor any remnants in his country.
19οὐκ ἔσται ἐπίγνωστος ἐν λαῷ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ σεσωσμένος ἐν τῇ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ,
20They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, and horror shall fall upon them that went before.
20ἀλλ᾿ ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῦ ζήσονται ἕτεροι. ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἐστέναξαν ἔσχατοι, πρώτους δὲ ἔσχε θαῦμα.
21These men are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place of him that knoweth not God.
21οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ οἶκοι ἀδίκων, οὗτος δὲ ὁ τόπος τῶν μὴ εἰδότων τὸν Κύριον.
