Job 18 (WEBP)

[1] Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
[2] “How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
[3] Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
[4] You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
[5] “Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
[6] The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
[7] The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
[8] For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
[9] A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
[10] A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
[11] Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
[12] His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
[13] The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
[14] He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
[15] There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
[16] His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
[17] His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
[18] He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
[19] He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
[20] Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
[21] Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”

Job 18 (BYZ)

[1] υπολαβων δε βαλδαδ ο σαυχιτης λεγει
[2] μεχρι τινος ου παυση επισχες ινα και αυτοι λαλησωμεν
[3] δια τι ωσπερ τετραποδα σεσιωπηκαμεν εναντιον σου
[4] κεχρηται σοι οργη τι γαρ εαν συ αποθανης αοικητος η υπ ουρανον η καταστραφησεται ορη εκ θεμελιων
[5] και φως ασεβων σβεσθησεται και ουκ αποβησεται αυτων η φλοξ
[6] το φως αυτου σκοτος εν διαιτη ο δε λυχνος επ αυτω σβεσθησεται
[7] θηρευσαισαν ελαχιστοι τα υπαρχοντα αυτου σφαλαι δε αυτου η βουλη
[8] εμβεβληται δε ο πους αυτου εν παγιδι εν δικτυω ελιχθειη
[9] ελθοισαν δε επ αυτον παγιδες κατισχυσει επ αυτον διψωντας
[10] κεκρυπται εν τη γη σχοινιον αυτου και η συλλημψις αυτου επι τριβων
[11] κυκλω ολεσαισαν αυτον οδυναι πολλοι δε περι ποδας αυτου ελθοισαν εν λιμω στενω
[12] πτωμα δε αυτω ητοιμασται εξαισιον
[13] βρωθειησαν αυτου κλωνες ποδων κατεδεται δε τα ωραια αυτου θανατος
[14] εκραγειη δε εκ διαιτης αυτου ιασις σχοιη δε αυτον αναγκη αιτια βασιλικη
[15] κατασκηνωσει εν τη σκηνη αυτου εν νυκτι αυτου κατασπαρησονται τα ευπρεπη αυτου θειω
[16] υποκατωθεν αι ριζαι αυτου ξηρανθησονται και επανωθεν επιπεσειται θερισμος αυτου
[17] το μνημοσυνον αυτου απολοιτο εκ γης και υπαρχει ονομα αυτω επι προσωπον εξωτερω
[18] απωσειεν αυτον εκ φωτος εις σκοτος
[19] ουκ εσται επιγνωστος εν λαω αυτου ουδε σεσωσμενος εν τη υπ ουρανον ο οικος αυτου αλλ εν τοις αυτου ζησονται ετεροι
[20] επ αυτω εστεναξαν εσχατοι πρωτους δε εσχεν θαυμα
[21] ουτοι εισιν οικοι αδικων ουτος δε ο τοπος των μη ειδοτων τον κυριον
