  18:1 ¶
Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said, |
|
18:1 ¶
Then answered°°
Bildad°
the Shuhite,°
and said,°° |
|
18:2
How long wilt thou continue? forbear, that we also may speak. |
|
18:2
How long°°
[will it be ere] ye make°°
an end°
of words?°
mark,°°
and afterwards°
we will speak.°° |
|
18:3
For wherefore have we been silent before thee like brutes? |
|
18:3
Wherefore°
are we counted°°
as beasts,°
[and] reputed vile°°
in your sight?° |
|
18:4
Anger has possessed thee: for what if thou shouldest die; would [the earth] under heaven be desolate? or shall the mountains be overthrown from their foundations? |
|
18:4
He teareth°°
himself°
in his anger:°
shall the earth°
be forsaken°°
for°
thee? and shall the rock°
be removed°°
out of his place?°° |
|
18:5
But the light of the ungodly shall be quenched, and their flame shall not go up. |
|
18:5
Yea,°
the light°
of the wicked°
shall be put out,°°
and the spark°
of his fire°
shall not°
shine.°° |
|
18:6
His light [shall be] darkness in [his] habitation, and his lamp shall be put out with him. |
|
18:6
The light°
shall be dark°°
in his tabernacle,°
and his candle°
shall be put out°°
with°
him. |
|
18:7
Let the meanest of men spoil his goods, and let his counsel deceive [him]. |
|
18:7
The steps°
of his strength°
shall be straitened,°°
and his own counsel°
shall cast him down.°° |
|
18:8
His foot also has been caught in a snare, [and] let it be entangled in a net. |
|
18:8
For°
he is cast°°
into a net°
by his own feet,°
and he walketh°°
upon°
a snare.° |
|
18:9
And let snares come upon him: he shall strengthen those that thirst for his destruction. |
|
18:9
The gin°
shall take°°
[him] by the heel,°
[and] the robber°
shall prevail°°
against°
him. |
|
18:10
His snare is hid in the earth, and that which shall take him is by the path. |
|
18:10
The snare°
[is] laid°°
for him in the ground,°
and a trap°
for him in°
the way.° |
|
18:11
Let pains destroy him round about, and let many [enemies] come about him, |
|
18:11
Terrors°
shall make him afraid°°
on every side,°
and shall drive°°
him to his feet.° |
|
18:12
[vex him] with distressing hunger: and a signal destruction has been prepared for him. |
|
18:12
His strength°
shall be°
hungerbitten,°
and destruction°
[shall be] ready°°
at his side.° |
|
18:13
Let the soles of his feet be devoured: and death shall consume his beauty. |
|
18:13
It shall devour°°
the strength°
of his skin:°
[even] the firstborn°
of death°
shall devour°°
his strength.° |
|
18:14
And let health be utterly banished from his tabernacle, and let distress seize upon him with a charge from the king. |
|
18:14
His confidence°
shall be rooted out°°
of his tabernacle,°°
and it shall bring°°
him to the king°
of terrors.° |
|
18:15
It shall dwell in his tabernacle in his night: his excellency shall be sown with brimstone. |
|
18:15
It shall dwell°°
in his tabernacle,°
because [it is] none°°
of his: brimstone°
shall be scattered°°
upon°
his habitation.° |
|
18:16
His roots shall be dried up from beneath, and his crop shall fall away from above. |
|
18:16
His roots°
shall be dried up°°
beneath,°°
and above°°
shall his branch°
be cut off.°° |
|
18:17
Let his memorial perish out of the earth, and his name shall be publicly cast out. |
|
18:17
His remembrance°
shall perish°°
from°
the earth,°
and he shall have no°
name°
in°
the street.°° |
|
18:18
Let [one] drive him from light into darkness. |
|
18:18
He shall be driven°°
from light°°
into°
darkness,°
and chased°°
out of the world.°° |
|
18:19
He shall not be known among his people, nor his house preserved on the earth. |
|
18:19
He shall neither°
have son°
nor°
nephew°
among his people,°
nor°
any remaining°
in his dwellings.° |
|
18:20
But strangers shall dwell in his possessions: the last groaned for him, and wonder seized the first. |
|
18:20
They that come after°
[him] shall be astonied°°
at°
his day,°
as they that went before°
were affrighted.°°° |
|
18:21
These are the houses of the unrighteous, and this is the place of them that know not the Lord. |
|
18:21
Surely°
such°
[are] the dwellings°
of the wicked,°
and this°
[is] the place°
[of him that] knoweth°°
not°
El.° |
