Bildad
18 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “When will you end these speeches?(B)
Be sensible, and then we can talk.
3 Why are we regarded as cattle(C)
and considered stupid in your sight?(D)
4 You who tear yourself(E) to pieces in your anger,(F)
is the earth to be abandoned for your sake?
Or must the rocks be moved from their place?(G)
5 “The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out;(H)
the flame of his fire stops burning.(I)
6 The light in his tent(J) becomes dark;(K)
the lamp beside him goes out.(L)
7 The vigor(M) of his step is weakened;(N)
his own schemes(O) throw him down.(P)
8 His feet thrust him into a net;(Q)
he wanders into its mesh.
9 A trap seizes him by the heel;
a snare(R) holds him fast.(S)
10 A noose(T) is hidden for him on the ground;
a trap(U) lies in his path.(V)
11 Terrors(W) startle him on every side(X)
and dog(Y) his every step.
12 Calamity(Z) is hungry(AA) for him;
disaster(AB) is ready for him when he falls.(AC)
13 It eats away parts of his skin;(AD)
death’s firstborn devours his limbs.(AE)
14 He is torn from the security of his tent(AF)
and marched off to the king(AG) of terrors.(AH)
15 Fire resides[a] in his tent;(AI)
burning sulfur(AJ) is scattered over his dwelling.
16 His roots dry up below(AK)
and his branches wither above.(AL)
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth;(AM)
he has no name(AN) in the land.(AO)
18 He is driven from light into the realm of darkness(AP)
and is banished(AQ) from the world.(AR)
19 He has no offspring(AS) or descendants(AT) among his people,
no survivor(AU) where once he lived.(AV)
20 People of the west are appalled(AW) at his fate;(AX)
those of the east are seized with horror.
21 Surely such is the dwelling(AY) of an evil man;(AZ)
such is the place(BA) of one who does not know God.”(BB)

Segunda intervención de Bildad
18 Entonces intervino Bildad el sujita
y dijo:
2 —¿Cuándo pondrán fin a las palabras? Reflexionen primero, y después hablaremos.
3 ¿Por qué somos tenidos por animales
y por impuros ante sus ojos?
4 ¡Oh, el que despedaza su alma
con su furor!
¿Será abandonada la tierra por tu causa? ¿Será removida la peña de su lugar?
5 »Ciertamente se extingue la luz de los impíos
y no resplandece la lumbre de su fuego.
6 La luz se oscurece en su morada
y se apaga la lámpara que está sobre él.
7 Los pasos de su vigor son estrechados;
su propio plan lo hace caer.
8 Porque por sus propios pies es echado en la red
y deambula en la maraña.
9 Una trampa lo atrapa por el talón;
el enredo se apodera de él.
10 Para él está escondida una cuerda en el suelo;
para él hay un lazo en el sendero.
11 Por todas partes lo sobrecogen
los terrores
y lo persiguen pisando sus talones.
12 En su riqueza está hambriento
y a su lado está lista la desgracia.
13 Carcome parte de su piel;
el primogénito de la muerte
devora sus miembros.
14 Es arrancado de su morada,
objeto de su confianza,
y es conducido ante el rey
de los espantos.
15 El fuego habita en su tienda;
el azufre es esparcido sobre su morada.
16 Por abajo se secan sus raíces,
y por arriba se marchitan sus ramas.
17 Su memoria perece en la tierra
y no tiene nombre en las calles.
18 Lo empujan de la luz a las tinieblas;
lo echan fuera del mundo.
19 No tendrá prole ni descendiente
en su pueblo
ni sobreviviente en sus moradas.
20 Los que vengan del oeste
se horrorizarán de su día,
y los que vengan del este
serán sobrecogidos por el espanto.
21 Tales son las moradas del impío,
y tal será el lugar del que no
conoce a Dios.

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.”
