Jb 18 (King James)

¹ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
² How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
³ Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
⁴ He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
⁵ Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
⁶ The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
⁷ The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
⁸ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
⁹ The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
¹⁰ The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
¹¹ Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
¹² His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
¹³ It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
¹⁴ His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
¹⁵ It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
¹⁶ His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
¹⁷ His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
¹⁸ He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
¹⁹ He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
²⁰ They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
²¹ Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Jb 18 (Martin)

Bildad codamnant Job de présomption, lui déclare quels sont les jugements de Dieu.

¹ Alors Bildad Suhite prit la parole, et dit :
² Quand finirez-vous ces discours ? écoutez, et puis nous parlerons.
³ Pourquoi sommes-nous regardés comme bêtes, [et] pourquoi nous tenez-vous pour souillés ?
⁴ [Ô toi !] qui te déchires toi-même en ta fureur, la terre sera-t-elle abandonnée à cause de toi, [et] les rochers seront-ils transportés de leur place ?
⁵ Certainement, la lumière des méchants sera éteinte, et l'étincelle de leur feu ne reluira point.
⁶ La lumière sera obscurcie dans la tente de chacun d'eux, et la lampe [qui éclairait] au-dessus d'eux sera éteinte.
⁷ Les démarches de sa force seront resserrées, et son conseil le renversera.
⁸ Car il sera enlacé par ses pieds dans les filets, et il marchera sur des rets.
⁹ Le lacet lui saisira le talon, et le voleur le saisissant en aura le dessus.
¹⁰ Son piège est caché dans la terre, et sa trappe cachée sur son sentier.
¹¹ Les terreurs l'assiégeront de tous côtés, et le feront trotter çà et là de ses pieds.
¹² Sa force sera affamée, et la calamité sera toujours à son côté.
¹³ Le premier-né de la mort dévorera ce qui soutient sa peau, il dévorera, [dis-je], ce qui le soutient.
¹⁴ [Les choses en quoi il mettait] sa confiance seront arrachées de sa tente, et il sera conduit vers le Roi des épouvantements.
¹⁵ On habitera dans sa tente, sans qu'elle soit plus à lui ; et le soufre sera répandu sur sa maison de plaisance.
¹⁶ Ses racines sécheront au dessous, et ses branches seront coupées en haut.
¹⁷ Sa mémoire périra sur la terre, et on ne parlera plus de son nom dans les places.
¹⁸ On le chassera de la lumière dans les ténèbres, et il sera exterminé du monde.
¹⁹ Il n'aura ni fils ni petit-fils parmi son peuple, et il n'aura personne qui lui survive dans ses demeures.
²⁰ Ceux qui seront venus après lui, seront étonnés de son jour ; et ceux qui auront été avant lui en seront saisis d'horreur.
²¹ Certainement telles seront les demeures du pervers, et tel sera le lieu de celui qui n'a point reconnu le [Dieu] Fort.

Jb 18 (Vulgate)

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 quæ super eum est extinguetur.
⁷ Arctabuntur gressus virtutis ejus, et præcipitabit 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 ullæ reliquiæ in regionibus ejus.
²⁰ In die ejus stupebunt novissimi, et primos invadet horror.
²¹ Hæc sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui, et iste locus ejus qui ignorat Deum.]
