YLT - Job - 18

18:1  And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --

18:2  When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak.

18:3  Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes!

18:4  (He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place?

18:5  Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire.

18:6  The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.

18:7  Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.

18:8  For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.

18:9  Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing.

18:10  Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.

18:11  Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him--at his feet.

18:12  Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side.

18:13  It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born.

18:14  Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.

18:15  It dwelleth in his tent--out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.

18:16  From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.

18:17  His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street.

18:18  They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.

18:19  He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.

18:20  At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright.

18:21  Only these are tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known.
