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."

1 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit : 2 [Usque ad quem finem verba jactabitis ?intelligite prius, et sic loquamur.3 Quare reputati sumus ut jumenta,et sorduimus coram vobis ?4 Qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo,numquid propter te derelinquetur terra,et transferentur rupes de loco suo ?5 Nonne lux impii extinguetur,nec splendebit flamma ignis ejus ?6 Lux obtenebrescet in tabernaculo illius,et lucerna qu super eum est extinguetur.7 Arctabuntur gressus virtutis ejus,et prcipitabit eum consilium suum.8 Immisit enim in rete pedes suos,et in maculis ejus ambulat.9 Tenebitur planta illius laqueo,et exardescet contra eum sitis.10 Abscondita est in terra pedica ejus,et decipula illius super semitam.11 Undique terrebunt eum formidines,et involvent pedes ejus.12 Attenuetur fame robur ejus,et inedia invadat costas illius.13 Devoret pulchritudinem cutis ejus ;consumat brachia illius primogenita mors.14 Avellatur de tabernaculo suo fiducia ejus,et calcet super eum, quasi rex, interitus.15 Habitent in tabernaculo illius socii ejus qui non est ;aspergatur in tabernaculo ejus sulphur.16 Deorsum radices ejus siccentur :sursum autem atteratur messis ejus.17 Memoria illius pereat de terra,et non celebretur nomen ejus in plateis.18 Expellet eum de luce in tenebras,et de orbe transferet eum.19 Non erit semen ejus, neque progenies in populo suo,nec ull reliqui in regionibus ejus.20 In die ejus stupebunt novissimi,et primos invadet horror.21 Hc sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui,et iste locus ejus qui ignorat Deum.]
