1Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:
1Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:
2[Usque ad quem finem verba jactabitis? intelligite prius, et sic loquamur.
2How long will you throw out words? understand first, and so let us speak.
3Quare reputati sumus ut jumenta, et sorduimus coram vobis?
3Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before you?
4Qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo, numquid propter te derelinquetur terra, et transferentur rupes de loco suo?
4Thou that destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be removed out of their place?
5Nonne lux impii extinguetur, nec splendebit flamma ignis ejus?
5Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine?
6Lux obtenebrescet in tabernaculo illius, et lucerna quæ super eum est extinguetur.
6The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him, shall be put out.
7Arctabuntur gressus virtutis ejus, et præcipitabit eum consilium suum.
7The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong.
8Immisit enim in rete pedes suos, et in maculis ejus ambulat.
8For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in its meshes.
9Tenebitur planta illius laqueo, et exardescet contra eum sitis.
9The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him.
10Abscondita est in terra pedica ejus, et decipula illius super semitam.
10A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon the path.
11Undique terrebunt eum formidines, et involvent pedes ejus.
11Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle his feet.
12Attenuetur fame robur ejus, et inedia invadat costas illius.
12Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs.
13Devoret pulchritudinem cutis ejus; consumat brachia illius primogenita mors.
13Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn death consume his arms.
14Avellatur de tabernaculo suo fiducia ejus, et calcet super eum, quasi rex, interitus.
14Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let destruction tread upon him like a king.
15Habitent in tabernaculo illius socii ejus qui non est; aspergatur in tabernaculo ejus sulphur.
15Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent.
16Deorsum radices ejus siccentur: sursum autem atteratur messis ejus.
16Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed above.
17Memoria illius pereat de terra, et non celebretur nomen ejus in plateis.
17Let the memory of him perish from the earth and let not his name be renowned in the streets.
18Expellet eum de luce in tenebras, et de orbe transferet eum.
18He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall remove him out of the world.
19Non erit semen ejus, neque progenies in populo suo, nec ullæ reliquiæ in regionibus ejus.
19His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people, nor any remnants in his country.
20In die ejus stupebunt novissimi, et primos invadet horror.
20They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, and horror shall fall upon them that went before.
21Hæc sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui, et iste locus ejus qui ignorat Deum.]
21These men are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place of him that knoweth not God.
