Job 18

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:	1 Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said:
2 How long will you throw out words? understand first, and so let us speak.	2 What prevents you others from saying something? Think -- for it is our turn to speak!
3 Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before you?	3 Why do you regard us as animals, considering us no more than brutes?
4 Thou that destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be removed out of their place?	4 Tear yourself to pieces if you will, but the world, for al your rage, wil not turn to desert, the rocks wilnot shift from their places.
5 Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine?	5 The light of the wicked must certainly be put out, the lamp that gives him light cease to shine.
6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him, shall be put out.	6 In his tent the light is dimmed, the lamp that shone on him is snuffed.
7 The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong.	7 His vigorous stride loses its power, his own designs falter.
8 For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in its meshes.	8 For into the net his own feet carry him, he walks into the snares.
9 The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him.	9 A spring grips him by the heel, a trap snaps shut, and he is caught.
10 A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon the path.	10 Hidden in the ground is a snare to catch him, pitfal s lie across his path.
11 Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle his feet.	11 Terrors threaten him from al sides following him step by step.
12 Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs.	12 Hunger becomes his companion, by his side Disaster stands.
13 Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn death consume his arms.	13 Disease devours his skin, Death's First-Born gnaws his limbs.
14 Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let destruction tread upon him like a king.	14 He wil be torn from the shelter of his tent, and you wil drag him to the King of Terrors.
15 Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent.	15 You can live in the tent, since it is no longer his, and brimstone wil be scattered on his sheepfold.
16 Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed above.	16 Below, his roots dry out and his branches are blasted above.
17 Let the memory of him perish from the earth and let not his name be renowned in the streets.	17 His memory fades from the land, his name is forgotten in the countryside.
18 He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall remove him out of the world.	18 Driven from the light into the darkness, he is banished from the world,
19 His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people, nor any remnants in his country.	19 without issue or posterity among his own people or a single survivor where he used to live.
20 They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, and horror shall fall upon them that went before.	20 His end appals the west and fills the east with terror.
21 These men are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place of him that knoweth not God.	21 Such indeed is the fate of the places where wickedness dwel s -- the home of everyone who knowsnot God.
