Segunda reprensión de Bildad a Job
1 Entonces Bildad el suhita le dijo:
2 «¿Cuándo vas a dejar de hablar?
Ponte a pensar, y después de eso hablaremos.
3 ¿Por qué nos consideras unas bestias?
¿Por qué nos ves como gente despreciable?
4 Aunque airado te desgarres el alma,
la tierra no va a quedarse sin vida por tu causa,
ni las rocas van a cambiar de lugar.
5 »La vida del malvado habrá de extinguirse,
y el resplandor de su fuego dejará de brillar.
6 La luz se irá apagando en su casa,
y su lámpara dejará de alumbrar;
7 sus pasos irán perdiendo su vigor,
y sus planes se volverán contra él.
8 A su paso se le tenderán trampas,
y quedará enredado entre redes.
9 Sus tobillos quedarán atrapados
en la trampa que se le tienda.
10 Le esperan trampas ocultas en el suelo;
hay trampas escondidas, esperando que pase.
11 Por todas partes lo asaltará el terror;
por todos lados se verá perseguido.
12 El hambre le hará perder fuerzas,
y el desastre no lo abandonará.
13 La enfermedad irá minando su cuerpo,
y la muerte le roerá las manos y los pies.
14 Arrancado de la seguridad de su casa,
será arrastrado por el rey de los terrores.
15 Vivirá en su propia casa como en casa ajena,
y sobre su casa caerá polvo de azufre.
16 Será desarraigado de su pueblo,
y nunca llegará a formar una familia.
17 Su nombre será olvidado por todos,
y nadie en la calle lo reconocerá.
18 Será arrojado de la luz a las tinieblas,
y expulsado de este mundo.
19 No tendrá entre su pueblo pariente alguno,
ni habrá tampoco quien herede sus posesiones.
20 Su final aterrará a los de occidente,
y hará temblar de miedo a los de oriente.
21 Así termina la vida de los malvados;
en eso paran los que no reconocen a Dios.»
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.
