 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 Then Bildad the Shuhite responded, | 1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, | 1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, | 1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said: | 1 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: -- | 2 "How long will you hunt for words? Show understanding and then we can talk. | 2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. | 2 How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak. | 2 How long will you throw out words? understand first, and so let us speak. | 2 When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak. | 3 "Why are we regarded as beasts, As stupid in your eyes? | 3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? | 3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, And are become unclean in your sight? | 3 Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before you? | 3 Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes! | 4 "O you who tear yourself in your anger-- For your sake is the earth to be abandoned, Or the rock to be moved from its place? | 4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place? | 4 Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place? | 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? | 4 (He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place? | 5 "Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, And the flame of his fire gives no light. | 5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. | 5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine. | 5 Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine? | 5 Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 "The light in his tent is darkened, And his lamp goes out above him. | 6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. | 6 The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out. | 6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him, shall be put out. | 6 The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished. | 7 "His vigorous stride is shortened, And his own scheme brings him down. | 7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. | 7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down. | 7 The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong. | 7 Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel. | 8 "For he is thrown into the net by his own feet, And he steps on the webbing. | 8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. | 8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils. | 8 For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in its meshes. | 8 For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually. | 9 "A snare seizes him by the heel, And a trap snaps shut on him. | 9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. | 9 A gin shall take him by the heel, And a snare shall lay hold on him. | 9 The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him. | 9 Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing. | 10 "A noose for him is hidden in the ground, And a trap for him on the path. | 10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. | 10 A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way. | 10 A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon the path. | 10 Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 "All around terrors frighten him, And harry him at every step. | 11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet. | 11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels. | 11 Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle his feet. | 11 Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him -- at his feet. | 12 "His strength is famished, And calamity is ready at his side. | 12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. | 12 His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side. | 12 Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs. | 12 Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side. | 13 "His skin is devoured by disease, The firstborn of death devours his limbs. | 13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. | 13 The members of his body shall be devoured, Yea , the first-born of death shall devour his members. | 13 Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn death consume his arms. | 13 It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born. | 14 "He is torn from the security of his tent, And they march him before the king of terrors. | 14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. | 14 He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors. | 14 Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let destruction tread upon him like a king. | 14 Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors. | 15 "There dwells in his tent nothing of his; Brimstone is scattered on his habitation. | 15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. | 15 There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. | 15 Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent. | 15 It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 "His roots are dried below, And his branch is cut off above. | 16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. | 16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, And above shall his branch be cut off. | 16 Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed above. | 16 From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop. | 17 "Memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name abroad. | 17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. | 17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street. | 17 Let the memory of him perish from the earth and let not his name be renowned in the streets. | 17 His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street. | 18 "He is driven from light into darkness, And chased from the inhabited world. | 18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. | 18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world. | 18 He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall remove him out of the world. | 18 They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out. | 19 "He has no offspring or posterity among his people, Nor any survivor where he sojourned. | 19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. | 19 He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned. | 19 His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people, nor any remnants in his country. | 19 He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings. | 20 "Those in the west are appalled at his fate, And those in the east are seized with horror. | 20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted. | 20 They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted. | 20 They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, and horror shall fall upon them that went before. | 20 At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 "Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God." | 21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. | 21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God. | 21 These men are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place of him that knoweth not God. | 21 Only these are tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known. |
