Job 18
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
1Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:
2How long will ye lay snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
2[Usque ad quem finem verba jactabitis? intelligite prius, et sic loquamur.
3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed dull in your sight?
3Quare reputati sumus ut jumenta, et sorduimus coram vobis?
4Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
4Qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo, numquid propter te derelinquetur terra, et transferentur rupes de loco suo?
5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
5Nonne lux impii extinguetur, nec splendebit flamma ignis ejus?
6The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.
6Lux obtenebrescet in tabernaculo illius, et lucerna quæ super eum est extinguetur.
7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
7Arctabuntur gressus virtutis ejus, et præcipitabit eum consilium suum.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.
8Immisit enim in rete pedes suos, et in maculis ejus ambulat.
9A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.
9Tenebitur planta illius laqueo, et exardescet contra eum sitis.
10A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
10Abscondita est in terra pedica ejus, et decipula illius super semitam.
11Terrors shall overwhelm him on every side, and shall entrap him at his feet.
11Undique terrebunt eum formidines, et involvent pedes ejus.
12His trouble shall be ravenous, and calamity shall be ready for his fall.
12Attenuetur fame robur ejus, et inedia invadat costas illius.
13It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.
13Devoret pulchritudinem cutis ejus; consumat brachia illius primogenita mors.
14That wherein he trusteth shall be plucked out of his tent; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
14Avellatur de tabernaculo suo fiducia ejus, et calcet super eum, quasi rex, interitus.
15There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
15Habitent in tabernaculo illius socii ejus qui non est; aspergatur in tabernaculo ejus sulphur.
16His roots shall dry up beneath, and above shall his branch wither.
16Deorsum radices ejus siccentur: sursum autem atteratur messis ejus.
17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name abroad.
17Memoria illius pereat de terra, et non celebretur nomen ejus in plateis.
18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
18Expellet eum de luce in tenebras, et de orbe transferet eum.
19He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
19Non erit semen ejus, neque progenies in populo suo, nec ullæ reliquiæ in regionibus ejus.
20They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before are affrighted.
20In die ejus stupebunt novissimi, et primos invadet horror.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
21Hæc sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui, et iste locus ejus qui ignorat Deum.]
