2“How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.2“How long before you stop talking? Speak sense if you want us to answer!
3Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?3Do you think we are mere animals? Do you think we are stupid?
4You who tear yourself in anger—should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?4You may tear out your hair in anger, but will that destroy the earth? Will it make the rocks tremble?
5Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.5“Surely the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. The sparks of their fire will not glow.
6The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.6The light in their tent will grow dark. The lamp hanging above them will be quenched.
7His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.7The confident stride of the wicked will be shortened. Their own schemes will be their downfall.
8For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.8The wicked walk into a net. They fall into a pit.
9A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.9A trap grabs them by the heel. A snare holds them tight.
10A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.10A noose lies hidden on the ground. A rope is stretched across their path.
11Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.11“Terrors surround the wicked and trouble them at every step.
12His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.12Hunger depletes their strength, and calamity waits for them to stumble.
13It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.13Disease eats their skin; death devours their limbs.
14He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.14They are torn from the security of their homes and are brought down to the king of terrors.
15Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.15The homes of the wicked will burn down; burning sulfur rains on their houses.
16The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.16Their roots will dry up, and their branches will wither.
17The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.17All memory of their existence will fade from the earth; no one will remember their names.
18He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.18They will be thrust from light into darkness, driven from the world.
19He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.19They will have neither children nor grandchildren, nor any survivor in the place where they lived.
20Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.20People in the west are appalled at their fate; people in the east are horrified.
21Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”21They will say, ‘This was the home of a wicked person, the place of one who rejected God.’”
