| 1 | And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: -- |
| 2 | When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak. |
| 3 | Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes! |
| 4 | (He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place? |
| 5 | Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire. |
| 6 | The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished. |
| 7 | Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel. |
| 8 | For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually. |
| 9 | Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing. |
| 10 | Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path. |
| 11 | Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him -- at his feet. |
| 12 | Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side. |
| 13 | It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death`s first-born. |
| 14 | Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors. |
| 15 | It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur. |
| 16 | From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop. |
| 17 | His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street. |
| 18 | They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out. |
| 19 | He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings. |
| 20 | At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright. |
| 21 | Only these [are] tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known. |
