Job 18
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Modern Hebrew Bible
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
1ויען בלדד השחי ויאמר׃
2How long will ye lay snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
2עד אנה תשימון קנצי למלין תבינו ואחר נדבר׃
3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed dull in your sight?
3מדוע נחשבנו כבהמה נטמינו בעיניכם׃
4Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
4טרף נפשו באפו הלמענך תעזב ארץ ויעתק צור ממקמו׃
5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
5גם אור רשעים ידעך ולא יגה שביב אשו׃
6The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.
6אור חשך באהלו ונרו עליו ידעך׃
7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
7יצרו צעדי אונו ותשליכהו עצתו׃
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.
8כי שלח ברשת ברגליו ועל שבכה יתהלך׃
9A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.
9יאחז בעקב פח יחזק עליו צמים׃
10A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
10טמון בארץ חבלו ומלכדתו עלי נתיב׃
11Terrors shall overwhelm him on every side, and shall entrap him at his feet.
11סביב בעתהו בלהות והפיצהו לרגליו׃
12His trouble shall be ravenous, and calamity shall be ready for his fall.
12יהי רעב אנו ואיד נכון לצלעו׃
13It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.
13יאכל בדי עורו יאכל בדיו בכור מות׃
14That wherein he trusteth shall be plucked out of his tent; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
14ינתק מאהלו מבטחו ותצעדהו למלך בלהות׃
15There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
15תשכון באהלו מבלי לו יזרה על נוהו גפרית׃
16His roots shall dry up beneath, and above shall his branch wither.
16מתחת שרשיו יבשו וממעל ימל קצירו׃
17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name abroad.
17זכרו אבד מני ארץ ולא שם לו על פני חוץ׃
18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
18יהדפהו מאור אל חשך ומתבל ינדהו׃
19He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
19לא נין לו ולא נכד בעמו ואין שריד במגוריו׃
20They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before are affrighted.
20על יומו נשמו אחרנים וקדמנים אחזו שער׃
21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
21אך אלה משכנות עול וזה מקום לא ידע אל׃
