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 (Ostervald)

¹ Alors Bildad, de Shuach, prit la parole et dit:
² Quand finirez-vous ces discours? Ayez du bon sens, et ensuite parlons.
³ Pourquoi sommes-nous regardés comme des bêtes, et sommes-nous stupides à vos yeux?
⁴ O toi qui te déchires toi-même dans ta fureur, la terre sera-t-elle abandonnée à cause de toi, et le rocher sera-t-il transporté hors de sa place?
⁵ Oui, la lumière du méchant s'éteindra, et la flamme de son feu ne brillera pas.
⁶ La lumière s'obscurcira dans sa tente, et la lampe s'éteindra au-dessus de lui.
⁷ Ses pas si puissants seront restreints, et son propre conseil le renversera.
⁸ Car il sera pris dans les filets par ses pieds, et il marchera sur le piège.
⁹ Le lacet le tiendra par le talon, et le filet le saisira:
¹⁰ Une corde est cachée pour lui sous terre, et une trappe sur son sentier.
¹¹ De tous côtés des terreurs l'assiégeront, et feront courir ses pieds çà et là.
¹² Sa vigueur sera affamée; la calamité se tiendra prête à ses côtés.
¹³ Il dévorera les membres de son corps, il dévorera ses membres, le premier-né de la mort!
¹⁴ On l'arrachera de sa tente, objet de sa confiance; on l'amènera au roi des épouvantements.
¹⁵ On habitera dans sa tente, qui ne sera plus à lui; le soufre sera répandu sur sa demeure.
¹⁶ En bas ses racines sécheront, et en haut ses branches seront coupées.
¹⁷ Sa mémoire disparaîtra de la terre, et on ne prononcera plus son nom sur les places.
¹⁸ On le chassera de la lumière dans les ténèbres, et on le bannira du monde.
¹⁹ Il n'aura ni lignée, ni descendance au milieu de son peuple, ni survivant dans ses habitations.
²⁰ Ceux d'Occident seront stupéfaits du jour de sa ruine, et ceux d'Orient en seront saisis d'horreur.
²¹ Tel est le sort de l'injuste. Telle est la destinée de celui qui ne connaît pas Dieu.
