English Standard Version ESV
1 respondens autem Baldad Suites dixit
1
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 usque ad quem finem verba iactabitis intellegite prius et sic loquamur
2
“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and then we will speak.
3 quare reputati sumus ut iumenta et sorduimus coram vobis
3
Why are we counted as cattle? Why are we stupid in your sight?
4 qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo numquid propter te derelinquetur terra et transferentur rupes de loco suo
4
You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you, or the rock be removed out of its place?
5 nonne lux impii extinguetur nec splendebit flamma ignis eius
5
“Indeed, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine.

6
The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out.
7 artabuntur gressus virtutis eius et praecipitabit eum consilium suum
7
His strong steps are shortened, and his own schemes throw him down.
8 inmisit enim in rete pedes suos et in maculis eius ambulat
8
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on its mesh.
9 tenebitur planta illius laqueo et exardescet contra eum sitis
9
A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare lays hold of him.
10 abscondita est in terra pedica eius et decipula illius super semitam
10
A rope is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path.
11 undique terrebunt eum formidines et involvent pedes eius
11
Terrors frighten him on every side, and chase him at his heels.
12 adtenuetur fame robur eius et inedia invadat costas illius
12
His strength is famished, and calamity is ready for his stumbling.
13 devoret pulchritudinem cutis eius consumat brachia illius primogenita mors
13
It consumes the parts of his skin; the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.

14
He is torn from the tent in which he trusted and is brought to the king of terrors.
15 habitent in tabernaculo illius socii eius qui non est aspergatur in tabernaculo eius sulphur
15
In his tent dwells that which is none of his; sulfur is scattered over his habitation.

20
They of the west are appalled at his day, and horror seizes them of the east.
21 haec sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui et iste locus eius qui ignorat Deum
21
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, such is the place of him who knows not God. ”
