Job 18

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