1ויען בלדד השחי ויאמר׃
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2עד אנה תשימון קנצי למלין תבינו ואחר נדבר׃
2“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3מדוע נחשבנו כבהמה נטמינו בעיניכם׃
3Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
4טרף נפשו באפו הלמענך תעזב ארץ ויעתק צור ממקמו׃
4You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
5גם אור רשעים ידעך ולא יגה שביב אשו׃
5“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
6אור חשך באהלו ונרו עליו ידעך׃
6The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
7יצרו צעדי אונו ותשליכהו עצתו׃
7The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
8כי שלח ברשת ברגליו ועל שבכה יתהלך׃
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
9יאחז בעקב פח יחזק עליו צמים׃
9A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10טמון בארץ חבלו ומלכדתו עלי נתיב׃
10A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
11סביב בעתהו בלהות והפיצהו לרגליו׃
11Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
12יהי רעב אנו ואיד נכון לצלעו׃
12His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
13יאכל בדי עורו יאכל בדיו בכור מות׃
13The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
14ינתק מאהלו מבטחו ותצעדהו למלך בלהות׃
14He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
15תשכון באהלו מבלי לו יזרה על נוהו גפרית׃
15There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
16מתחת שרשיו יבשו וממעל ימל קצירו׃
16His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
17זכרו אבד מני ארץ ולא שם לו על פני חוץ׃
17His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
18יהדפהו מאור אל חשך ומתבל ינדהו׃
18He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19לא נין לו ולא נכד בעמו ואין שריד במגוריו׃
19He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
20על יומו נשמו אחרנים וקדמנים אחזו שער׃
20Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21אך אלה משכנות עול וזה מקום לא ידע אל׃
21Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
