1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 "How long will you hunt for words?
Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Why are we counted as animals,
which have become unclean in your sight?
4 You who tear yourself in your anger,
will the earth be forsaken for you?
Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
5 "Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out.
The spark of his fire won’t shine.
6 The light will be dark in his tent.
His lamp above him will be put out.
7 The steps of his strength will be shortened.
His own counsel will cast him down.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
and he wanders into its mesh.
9 A snare will take him by the heel.
A trap will catch him.
10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground,
a trap for him on the path.
11 Terrors will make him afraid on every side,
and will chase him at his heels.
12 His strength will be famished.
Calamity will be ready at his side.
13 The members of his body will be devoured.
The firstborn of death will devour his members.
14 He will be rooted out of the security of his tent.
He will be brought to the king of terrors.
15 There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his.
Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
16 His roots will be dried up beneath.
His branch will be cut off above.
17 His memory will perish from the earth.
He will have no name in the street.
18 He will be driven from light into darkness,
and chased out of the world.
19 He will have neither son nor grandson among his people,
nor any remaining where he lived.
20 Those who come after will be astonished at his day,
as those who went before were frightened.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous.
This is the place of him who doesn’t know God."
1 书亚人比勒达回答说：
2 "你寻索言语要到几时呢？先想清楚， 然后我们再说吧。
3 我们为什么算为牲畜？为什么在你的眼中看为污秽呢？
4 你这因怒气而撕裂自己的， 难道大地要为你的缘故被丢弃， 磐石要挪移离开原处吗？
5 恶人的灯必要熄灭， 他的火焰必不照耀；
6 他帐棚中的光要变为黑暗， 上面的灯也必熄灭。
7 他的脚步必然狭窄， 自己的计谋必把他绊倒；
8 他的脚送自己进入网罗， 他走在陷阱之上。
9 圈套要缠住他的脚跟， 网罗要罩在他身上。
10 活扣为他藏在地里， 羁绊为他埋在路上。
11 惊骇四面恐吓他， 并且追赶他的脚踪。
12 他的气力因饥饿衰败， 祸患预备使他跌倒。
13 灾祸侵蚀了他大部分的皮肤， 死亡的长子吃掉了他的肢体。
14 他要从他倚靠的帐棚中被拔出来， 被带到惊骇的王那里，
15 不属他的住在他的帐棚里， 硫磺撒在他的居所之上。
16 他下面的根枯干， 上面的枝子凋谢。
17 他令人怀念的都从地上灭没， 他的名字不再留存在田上。
18 他们把他从光明中赶到黑暗里， 又把他从世界中赶出去。
19 在本族中他无子无孙， 在他寄居之地， 也没有生存的人。
20 西方的人因他的日子惊讶， 东方的人也战栗不已。
21 不义的人之住所实在是这样， 这就是不认识 神的人的收场。"
