Job 18 — YLT

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