比勒达发言
1书亚人比勒达回答说：
2“你要狡辩到何时呢？
你先想清楚，然后我们再谈。
3为何你把我们当作牲畜，
把我们视为蠢货？
4你这气得要撕碎自己的人，
大地会因你而荒凉吗？
磐石会因你而挪移吗？
5“恶人的光必熄灭。
他的火焰不再闪耀。
6他帐篷中一片黑暗，
他上面的灯光熄灭。
7恶人强劲的步伐变得蹒跚，
他必被自己的阴谋所害。
8他自陷网罗，
步入圈套。
9套索缠住他的脚跟，
网罗紧紧地罩住他。
10土里埋着绊他的绳索，
路上有陷阱等待着他。
11恐惧四面笼罩着他，
步步紧追着他。
12他饿得气力衰竭，
灾祸随时临到他。
13疾病侵蚀他的皮肉，
死亡吞噬他的肢体。
14他被拖出安稳的帐篷，
被押到冥王18:14 “冥王”希伯来文是“恐怖之王”。那里。
15他的帐篷燃烧着烈焰，
他的居所撒满了硫磺。
16他下面的根茎枯干，
上面的枝子枯萎。
17他从世上销声匿迹，
无人记得他的名字。
18他从光明中被赶入黑暗，
他被逐出这个世界。
19他在本族中无子无孙，
他所居之地无人生还。
20他的下场令西方的人震惊，
令东方的人战栗。
21这就是不义之人的结局，
不认识上帝之人的下场。”
The Second Speech of Bildad
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied,
2“Job, when will you stop these speeches of yours?
Be reasonable! Then we can talk.
3Why do you look at us as if we were cattle?
Why do you think of us as being stupid?
4Your anger is tearing you to pieces.
Does the earth have to be deserted just to prove you are right?
Must all the rocks be moved from their places?
5“The lamps of sinful people are blown out.
Their flames will never burn again.
6The lights in their tents become dark.
The lamps beside those who are evil go out.
7They walk more slowly than they used to.
Their own evil plans make them fall.
8Their feet take them into a net.
They wander right into it.
9A trap grabs hold of their heels.
It refuses to let them go.
10A trap lies in their path.
A rope to catch them is hidden on the ground.
11Terrors alarm them on every side.
They follow them every step of the way.
12Trouble would like to eat them up.
Danger waits for them when they fall.
13It eats away parts of their skin.
Death itself feeds on their arms and legs.
14They are torn away from the safety of their tents.
They are marched off to the one who rules over death.
15Fire races through their tents.
Burning sulfur is scattered over their homes.
16Their roots dry up under them.
Their branches dry up above them.
17No one on earth remembers them.
Their names are forgotten in the land.
18They are driven from light into the place of darkness.
They are thrown out of the world.
19Their family dies out among their people.
No one is left where they used to live.
20What has happened to them shocks the people in the west.
It terrifies the people in the east.
21Now you know what the homes of sinners are like.
Those who don’t know God live in places like that.”
