¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

¹Y RESPONDIO Bildad Suhita, y dijo:

²How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

²¿Cuándo pondréis fin á las palabras? Entended, y después hablemos.

³Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

³¿Por qué somos tenidos por bestias, Y en vuestros ojos somos viles?

⁴He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

⁴Oh tú, que despedazas tu alma con tu furor, ¿Será dejada la tierra por tu causa, Y serán traspasadas de su lugar las peñas?

⁵Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

⁵Ciertamente la luz de los impíos será apagada, Y no resplandecerá la centella de su fuego.

⁶The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

⁶La luz se oscurecerá en su tienda, Y apagaráse sobre él su lámpara.

⁷The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

⁷Los pasos de su pujanza serán acortados, Y precipitarálo su mismo consejo.

⁸For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

⁸Porque red será echada en sus pies, Y sobre red andará.

⁹The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.

⁹Lazo prenderá su calcañar: Afirmaráse la trampa contra él.

¹⁰The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

¹⁰Su cuerda está escondida en la tierra, Y su torzuelo sobre la senda.

¹¹Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

¹¹De todas partes lo asombrarán temores, Y haránle huir desconcertado.

¹²His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

¹²Su fuerza será hambrienta, Y á su lado estará aparejado quebrantamiento.

¹³It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

¹³El primogénito de la muerte comerá los ramos de su piel, Y devorará sus miembros.

¹⁴His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

¹⁴Su confianza será arrancada de su tienda, Y harále esto llevar al rey de los espantos.

¹⁵It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

¹⁵En su tienda morará como si no fuese suya: Piedra azufre será esparcida sobre su morada.

¹⁶His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.

¹⁶Abajo se secarán sus raíces, Y arriba serán cortadas sus ramas.

¹⁷His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

¹⁷Su memoria perecerá de la tierra, Y no tendrá nombre por las calles.

¹⁸He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

¹⁸De la luz será lanzado á las tinieblas, Y echado fuera del mundo.

¹⁹He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

¹⁹No tendrá hijo ni nieto en su pueblo, Ni quien le suceda en sus moradas.

²⁰They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

²⁰Sobre su día se espantarán los por venir, Como ocupó el pavor á los que fueron antes.

²¹Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

²¹Ciertamente tales son las moradas del impío, Y este será el lugar del que no conoció á Dios.
