Job 18

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

2 How long wilt thou continue? forbear, that we also may speak.

3 For wherefore have we been silent before thee like brutes?

4 Anger has possessed thee: for what if thou shouldest die; would under heaven be desolate? or shall the mountains be overthrown from their foundations?

5 But the light of the ungodly shall be quenched, and their flame shall not go up.

6 His light darkness in habitation, and his lamp shall be put out with him.

7 Let the meanest of men spoil his goods, and let his counsel deceive .

8 His foot also has been caught in a snare, let it be entangled in a net.

9 And let snares come upon him: he shall strengthen those that thirst for his destruction.

10 His snare is hid in the earth, and that which shall take him is by the path.

11 Let pains destroy him round about, and let many come about him,

12 with distressing hunger: and a signal destruction has been prepared for him.

13 Let the soles of his feet be devoured: and death shall consume his beauty.

14 And let health be utterly banished from his tabernacle, and let distress seize upon him with a charge from the king.

15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle in his night: his excellency shall be sown with brimstone.

16 His roots shall be dried up from beneath, and his crop shall fall away from above.

17 Let his memorial perish out of the earth, and his name shall be publicly cast out.

18 Let drive him from light into darkness.

19 He shall not be known among his people, nor his house preserved on the earth.

20 But strangers shall dwell in his possessions: the last groaned for him, and wonder seized the first.

21 These are the houses of the unrighteous, and this is the place of them that know not the Lord.

New International Version NIV

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 “When will you end these speeches? Be sensible, and then we can talk.

3 Why are we regarded as cattle and considered stupid in your sight?

4 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 “The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning.

6 The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out.

7 The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down.

8 His feet thrust him into a net; he wanders into its mesh.

9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast.

10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path.

11 Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step.

12 Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls.

13 It eats away parts of his skin; death’s firstborn devours his limbs.

14 He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.

15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.

16 His roots dry up below and his branches wither above.

17 The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land.

18 He is driven from light into the realm of darkness and is banished from the world.

19 He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived.

20 People of the west are appalled at his fate; those of the east are seized with horror.

21 Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who does not know God.”
