Job 18 — TOJB
18Verse 1Then answered Bildad the Shuchi, and said,Verse 2Ad anah (Until when, how long) will it be ere ye make an end of words?
Gain binah, and afterwards we will speak.
Verse 3Why are we counted as behemah (cattle),
and reputed stupid in your sight?
Verse 4Thou art he who teareth his nefesh in his anger;
shall eretz (earth) be forsaken for thee?
And shall the tzur be removed out of its place?Verse 5Yea, the ohr of the resha'im shall be put out,
and the flame of his eish shall not burn.
Verse 6The ohr shall be choshech in his ohel,
and his ner (lamp) above him is extinguished.
Verse 7The steps of his vigor shall be shortened,
and his own etzah (counsel, scheme) shall cast him down.
Verse 8For he is cast into a reshet by his own raglayim,
and he walketh into a pitfall.
Verse 9The pach (trap) shall take him by the akev (heel),
and the snare shall prevail against him.
Verse 10The noose is laid for him ba'aretz (on the ground),
and a trap for him in the path.
Verse 11Ballahot (terrors, terrible thoughts) shall make him afraid on every side,
and shall dog him behind his feet.
Verse 12Calamity is ra'ev (hungry) for him,
and destruction shall be ready for his fall.
Verse 13It shall devour the limbs of his ohr (skin);
even the bechor mavet (plague) shall devour his members.
Verse 14That in which he trusted is rooted out of his ohel,
and it shall march him to Melech Ballahot (King of Terrors).
Verse 15In his ohel nothing dwells;
gofrit (brimstone) is scattered upon his habitation.
Verse 16His shorashim shall be dried up beneath,
and above his branch shall wither.
Verse 17His memory shall perish from the earth,
and he shall have no shem in the land.
Verse 18He shall be driven from ohr into choshech,
and chased out of the tevel.
Verse 19He shall neither have offspring nor descendant among his am (people),
nor is there a sarid in his dwellings.
Verse 20The acharonim shall be astonished at his yom,
as the kadmonim were affrighted.
Verse 21Surely such are the mishkenot (dwellings) of the resha'im,
and this is the place of him that has no da'as of El.
Gain binah, and afterwards we will speak.
