Job 18
Magandang Balita Biblia
Inilarawan ni Bildad ang Wakas ng Masama
18 Sumagot si Bildad na Suhita,
2 “Kay rami naman ng iyong sinasabi,
tumahimik ka muna at pakinggan kami.
3 Kami ba'y ano sa iyong palagay?
Mga bakang hangal at walang nalalaman?
4 Sarili mo lang ang iyong sinasaktan, dahil sa galit na iyong tinataglay.
Pababayaan ba ang daigdig dahil lamang sa iyo,
at aalisin ang mga bundok sa kanilang puwesto?
5 “Ang(A) ilaw ng masama'y tiyak na papatayin,
ang kanyang apoy ay di na papaningasin.
6 Ang ilaw sa kanyang tahana'y pagdidilimin.
7 Ang matatag niyang hakbang ngayon ay nabubuwal,
pagbagsak niya'y nalalapit sa kanya ring kasamaan.
8 Di niya namamalayang ang kanyang mga paa ay sa bitag pupunta,
9 kaya naman nasisilo itong kanyang mga paa.
10 Isang silo ang sa kanya'y iniumang,
may bitag na nakahanda sa kanyang daraanan.
11 “Saanman siya bumaling, takot ay naghihintay;
sinusundan siya nito sa bawat hakbang.
12 Mayaman siya noon ngunit ngayo'y hikahos,
naghihintay sa kanya'y hirap at pagdarahop.
13 Nakamamatay na sakit, sa katawan niya'y kumakalat,
mga bisig at paa niya'y unti-unting naaagnas.
14 Dati siya'y panatag sa kanyang tahanan;
ngayo'y kinakaladkad patungo kay Kamatayan.
15 May iba nang nakatira doon sa dati niyang tahanan,
matapos malagyan ng gamot at malinis nang lubusan.
16 Ang kanyang mga ugat at mga sanga, lahat ay natuyo at pawang nalanta.
17 Lahat niyang alaala ay napawi nang lubusan;
nakalimutan nang lahat pati kanyang pangalan.
18 Mula sa liwanag, inihagis siya sa karimlan,
at pinalayas siya sa daigdig ng mga buháy.
19 Isang anak man o apo ay wala siyang naiwan, ni isa'y walang natira sa kanyang sambahayan.
20 Mula silangan hanggang kanluran, nanginginig at kinikilabutan
dahil sa kanyang matinding kasawian.
21 Ang masasamang tao'y ganyan ang kapalaran,
mga di kumikilala sa Diyos ganyan ang kahihinatnan.”
Job 18
New King James Version
Bildad: The Wicked Are Punished
18 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long till you put an end to words?
Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.
3 Why are we counted (B)as beasts,
And regarded as stupid in your sight?
4 (C)You[a] who tear yourself in anger,
Shall the earth be forsaken for you?
Or shall the rock be removed from its place?
5 “The(D) light of the wicked indeed goes out,
And the flame of his fire does not shine.
6 The light is dark in his tent,
(E)And his lamp beside him is put out.
7 The steps of his strength are shortened,
And (F)his own counsel casts him down.
8 For (G)he is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare.
9 The net takes him by the heel,
And (H)a snare lays hold of him.
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,
And a trap for him in the road.
11 (I)Terrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.
12 His strength is starved,
And (J)destruction is ready at his side.
13 It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his [b]limbs.
14 He is uprooted from (K)the shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors.
15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
16 (L)His roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above.
17 (M)The memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name [c]among the renowned.
18 [d]He is driven from light into darkness,
And chased out of the world.
19 (N)He has neither son nor posterity among his people,
Nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 Those [e]in the west are astonished (O)at his day,
As those [f]in the east are frightened.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who (P)does not know God.”
