1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
2 How long will it be before you have done talking? Get wisdom, and then we will say what is in our minds.
3 Why do we seem as beasts in your eyes, and as completely without knowledge?
4 But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?
5 For the light of the sinner is put out, and the flame of his fire is not shining.
6 The light is dark in his tent, and the light shining over him is put out.
7 The steps of his strength become short, and by his design destruction overtakes him.
8 His feet take him into the net, and he goes walking into the cords.
9 His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip.
10 The twisted cord is put secretly in the earth to take him, and the cord is placed in his way.
11 He is overcome by fears on every side, they go after him at every step.
12 His strength is made feeble for need of food, and destruction is waiting for his falling footstep.
13 His skin is wasted by disease, and his body is food for the worst of diseases.
14 He is pulled out of his tent where he was safe, and he is taken away to the king of fears.
15 In his tent will be seen that which is not his, burning stone is dropped on his house.
16 Under the earth his roots are dry, and over it his branch is cut off.
17 His memory is gone from the earth, and in the open country there is no knowledge of his name.
18 He is sent away from the light into the dark; he is forced out of the world.
19 He has no offspring or family among his people, and in his living-place there is no one of his name.
20 At his fate those of the west are shocked, and those of the east are overcome with fear.
21 Truly, these are the houses of the sinner, and this is the place of him who has no knowledge of 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。"
