1	וַ֭יַּעַן בִּלְדַּ֥ד הַשֻּׁחִ֗י וַיֹּאמַֽר׃	Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:	Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2	עַד־ אָ֤נָה ׀ תְּשִׂימ֣וּן קִנְצֵ֣י לְמִלִּ֑ין תָּ֝בִ֗ינוּ וְאַחַ֥ר נְדַבֵּֽר׃	“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and then we will speak.	“When will you end these speeches? Be sensible, and then we can talk.
3	מַ֭דּוּעַ נֶחְשַׁ֣בְנוּ כַבְּהֵמָ֑ה נִ֝טְמִ֗ינוּ בְּעֵינֵיכֶֽם׃	Why are we counted as cattle? Why are we stupid in your sight?	Why are we regarded as cattle and considered stupid in your sight?
4	טֹֽרֵ֥ף נַפְשׁ֗וֹ בְּאַ֫פּ֥וֹ הַ֭לְמַעַנְךָ תֵּעָ֣זַב אָ֑רֶץ וְיֶעְתַּק־ צ֝֗וּר מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃	You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you, or the rock be removed out of its place?	You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake? Or must the rocks be moved from their place?
5	גַּ֤ם א֣וֹר רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִדְעָ֑ךְ וְלֹֽא־ יִ֝גַּ֗הּ שְׁבִ֣יב אִשּֽׁוֹ׃	“Indeed, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine.	“The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning.
6	א֭וֹר חָשַׁ֣ךְ בְּאָהֳל֑וֹ וְ֝נֵר֗וֹ עָלָ֥יו יִדְעָֽךְ׃	The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out.	The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out.
7	יֵֽ֭צְרוּ צַעֲדֵ֣י אוֹנ֑וֹ וְֽתַשְׁלִיכֵ֥הוּ עֲצָתֽוֹ׃	His strong steps are shortened, and his own schemes throw him down.	The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down.
8	כִּֽי־ שֻׁלַּ֣ח בְּרֶ֣שֶׁת בְּרַגְלָ֑יו וְעַל־ שְׂ֝בָכָ֗ה יִתְהַלָּֽךְ׃	For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on its mesh.	His feet thrust him into a net; he wanders into its mesh.
9	יֹאחֵ֣ז בְּעָקֵ֣ב פָּ֑ח יַחֲזֵ֖ק עָלָ֣יו צַמִּֽים׃	A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare lays hold of him.	A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast.
10	בָּאָ֣רֶץ חַבְל֑וֹ וּ֝מַלְכֻּדְתּ֗וֹ עֲלֵ֣י נָתִֽיב׃	A rope is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path.	A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path.
11	סָ֭בִיב בִּֽעֲתֻ֣הוּ בַלָּה֑וֹת וֶהֱפִיצֻ֥הוּ לְרַגְלָֽיו׃	Terrors frighten him on every side, and chase him at his heels.	Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step.
12	יְהִי־ רָעֵ֥ב אֹנ֑וֹ וְ֝אֵ֗יד נָכ֥וֹן לְצַלְעֽוֹ׃	His strength is famished, and calamity is ready for his stumbling.	Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls.
13	יֹ֭אכַל בַּדֵּ֣י עוֹר֑וֹ יֹאכַ֥ל בַּ֝דָּ֗יו בְּכ֣וֹר מָֽוֶת׃	It consumes the parts of his skin; the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.	It eats away parts of his skin; death’s firstborn devours his limbs.
14	יִנָּתֵ֣ק מֵ֭אָהֳלוֹ מִבְטַח֑וֹ וְ֝תַצְעִדֵ֗הוּ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ בַּלָּהֽוֹת׃	He is torn from the tent in which he trusted and is brought to the king of terrors.	He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.
15	תִּשְׁכּ֣וֹן בְּ֭אָהֳלוֹ מִבְּלִי־ ל֑וֹ יְזֹרֶ֖ה עַל־ נָוֵ֣הוּ גָפְרִֽית׃	In his tent dwells that which is none of his; sulfur is scattered over his habitation.	Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.
16	מִ֭תַּחַת שָֽׁרָשָׁ֣יו יִבָ֑שׁוּ וּ֝מִמַּ֗עַל יִמַּ֥ל קְצִירֽוֹ׃	His roots dry up beneath, and his branches wither above.	His roots dry up below and his branches wither above.
17	זִֽכְרוֹ־ אָ֭בַד מִנִּי־ אָ֑רֶץ וְלֹא־ שֵׁ֥ם ל֝֗וֹ עַל־ פְּנֵי־ חֽוּץ׃	His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street.	The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land.
18	יֶ֭הְדְּפֻהוּ מֵא֣וֹר אֶל־ חֹ֑שֶׁךְ וּֽמִתֵּבֵ֥ל יְנִדֻּֽהוּ׃	He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world.	He is driven from light into the realm of darkness and is banished from the world.
19	לֹ֘א נִ֤ין ל֣וֹ וְלֹא־ נֶ֣כֶד בְּעַמּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֥ין שָׂ֝רִ֗יד בִּמְגוּרָֽיו׃	He has no posterity or progeny among his people, and no survivor where he used to live.	He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived.
20	עַל־ י֭וֹמוֹ נָשַׁ֣מּוּ אַחֲרֹנִ֑ים וְ֝קַדְמֹנִ֗ים אָ֣חֲזוּ שָֽׂעַר׃	They of the west are appalled at his day, and horror seizes them of the east.	People of the west are appalled at his fate; those of the east are seized with horror.
21	אַךְ־ אֵ֭לֶּה מִשְׁכְּנ֣וֹת עַוָּ֑ל וְ֝זֶ֗ה מְק֣וֹם לֹא־ יָדַֽע־ אֵֽל׃ ס	Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, such is the place of him who knows not God.”	Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who does not know God.”
