1Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2[Usque ad quem finem verba jactabitis? intelligite prius, et sic loquamur.
2“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3Quare reputati sumus ut jumenta, et sorduimus coram vobis?
3Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
4Qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo, numquid propter te derelinquetur terra, et transferentur rupes de loco suo?
4You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
5Nonne lux impii extinguetur, nec splendebit flamma ignis ejus?
5“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
6Lux obtenebrescet in tabernaculo illius, et lucerna quæ super eum est extinguetur.
6The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
7Arctabuntur gressus virtutis ejus, et præcipitabit eum consilium suum.
7The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
8Immisit enim in rete pedes suos, et in maculis ejus ambulat.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
9Tenebitur planta illius laqueo, et exardescet contra eum sitis.
9A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10Abscondita est in terra pedica ejus, et decipula illius super semitam.
10A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
11Undique terrebunt eum formidines, et involvent pedes ejus.
11Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
12Attenuetur fame robur ejus, et inedia invadat costas illius.
12His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
13Devoret pulchritudinem cutis ejus; consumat brachia illius primogenita mors.
13The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
14Avellatur de tabernaculo suo fiducia ejus, et calcet super eum, quasi rex, interitus.
14He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
15Habitent in tabernaculo illius socii ejus qui non est; aspergatur in tabernaculo ejus sulphur.
15There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
16Deorsum radices ejus siccentur: sursum autem atteratur messis ejus.
16His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
17Memoria illius pereat de terra, et non celebretur nomen ejus in plateis.
17His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
18Expellet eum de luce in tenebras, et de orbe transferet eum.
18He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19Non erit semen ejus, neque progenies in populo suo, nec ullæ reliquiæ in regionibus ejus.
19He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
20In die ejus stupebunt novissimi, et primos invadet horror.
20Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21Hæc sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui, et iste locus ejus qui ignorat Deum.]
21Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
