1And Beldad the Shukhite answered and said: 2“How long will you put up opposition to words? Discern, and in the end we shall speak! 3Why are we considered as a beast and we are defiled in your eyes? 4He kills his soul in his wrath. Behold, because of you shall the Earth be forsaken, and a mountain move from its place? 5Also the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished; also the flame of its fire will be put out. 6The light will darken in their tents and its lamp will be extinguished over him 7His steps will be laid waste in his sickness and his thoughts will sink him 8Because he stretched his feet into a snare and he has walked upon a net 9And snares grasped on his heel; droughts will prevail over him 10His destruction is hidden in the earth and his snare shall wrap around on the path 11Rows of terror surrounded him and they scattered themselves at his feet 12And his affliction will be a famine, and ruin is prepared for his posterity 13His possessions will be devoured by violence, and his first born dies by violence 14His trust will be cut off from his tent and the terrors of Kings will terrify him 15And they shall dwell in his tent, that which no man has; brimstone will be cast on his place 16His roots will dry up from beneath and his vintage will fall off from above 17His memorial will be destroyed from the Earth, and he has no name on the face of creation 18He will be thrown out from light into darkness and from the world they will reject him 19He has no name and no memory among the people and he has no survivor in his dwelling 20Let the latter ones be stupefied at his days, and the hair of the first ones stands on end 21However these are the tents of the evil, and this is the place of him who does not know God The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
