Job 18
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει·
2How long will ye lay snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
2μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ; ἐπίσχες, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν.
3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed dull in your sight?
3διατὶ δὲ ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου;
4Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
4κέχρηταί σοι ὀργή· τί γάρ; ἐὰν σὺ ἀποθάνῃς, ἀοίκητος ἡ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν; ἢ καταστραφήσεται ὄρη ἐκ θεμελίων;
5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
5καὶ φῶς ἀσεβῶν σβεσθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ φλόξ·
6The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.
6τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ σκότος ἐν διαίτῃ, ὁ δὲ λύχνος ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ σβεσθήσεται.
7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
7θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.
8ἐμβέβληται δὲ ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν παγίδι, ἐν δικτύῳ ἑλιχθείη.
9A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.
9ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν παγίδες, κατισχύσει ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν διψῶντας.
10A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
10κέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ σχοινίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ σύλληψις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρίβων.
11Terrors shall overwhelm him on every side, and shall entrap him at his feet.
11κύκλῳ ὀλέσαισαν αὐτὸν ὀδύναι, πολλοὶ δὲ περὶ πόδα αὐτοῦ ἔλθοισαν
12His trouble shall be ravenous, and calamity shall be ready for his fall.
12ἐν λιμῷ στενῷ. πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον.
13It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.
13βρωθείησαν αὐτοῦ κλῶνες ποδῶν, κατέδεται δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὡραῖα θάνατος.
14That wherein he trusteth shall be plucked out of his tent; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
14ἐκραγείη δὲ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις, σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ.
15There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
15κατασκηνώσει ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν νυκτὶ αὐτοῦ, κατασπαρήσονται τὰ εὐπρεπῆ αὐτοῦ θείῳ.
16His roots shall dry up beneath, and above shall his branch wither.
16ὑποκάτωθεν αἱ ρίζαι αὐτοῦ ξηρανθήσονται, καὶ ἐπάνωθεν ἐπιπεσεῖται θερισμὸς αὐτοῦ.
17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name abroad.
17τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ἀπόλοιτο ἐκ γῆς, καὶ ὑπάρξει ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐξωτέρω.
18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
18ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος.
19He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
19οὐκ ἔσται ἐπίγνωστος ἐν λαῷ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ σεσωσμένος ἐν τῇ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ,
20They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before are affrighted.
20ἀλλ᾿ ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῦ ζήσονται ἕτεροι. ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἐστέναξαν ἔσχατοι, πρώτους δὲ ἔσχε θαῦμα.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
21οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ οἶκοι ἀδίκων, οὗτος δὲ ὁ τόπος τῶν μὴ εἰδότων τὸν Κύριον.
