rotherham@Job:18:1 @ Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
rotherham@Job:18:2 @ How long will ye make a perversion of words? Ye should understand, and, afterwards, we could speak.
rotherham@Job:18:3 @ Wherefore are we accounted like beasts? or appear stupid, in thine eyes?
rotherham@Job:18:4 @ One tearing in pieces his own soul in his anger, For thy sake, shall the earth be forsaken? or the rock be moved out of its place?
rotherham@Job:18:5 @ Even the light of the lawless, shall go out, Neither shall shine the flame of his fire;
rotherham@Job:18:6 @ The light, hath darkened in his tent, Yea, his lamp above him, goeth out;
rotherham@Job:18:7 @ The steppings of his strength are hemmed in, and his own counsel casteth him down;
rotherham@Job:18:8 @ For he is thrust into a net by his own feet, and, upon a trap, he marcheth;
rotherham@Job:18:9 @ There catcheth himby the heela gin, there holdeth him fasta noose:
rotherham@Job:18:10 @ Concealed in the ground is a cord for him, and a snare for him, on the path.
rotherham@Job:18:11 @ Round about, terrors have startled him, and have driven him to his feet.
rotherham@Job:18:12 @ Let his strength be famished, and, calamity, be ready at his side;
rotherham@Job:18:13 @ Let it devour the members of his body, Let the firstborn of death devour his members;
rotherham@Job:18:14 @ Uprooted, out of his tent, be his confidence, and let it drive him down to the king of terrors;
rotherham@Job:18:15 @ There shall dwell in his tent, what is naught-of-his, Let brimstone be strewed over his dwelling;
rotherham@Job:18:16 @ Beneath, let his roots be dried up, and, above, be cut off his branch;
rotherham@Job:18:17 @ His memorial, have perished out of the land, and let him have no name over the face of the open field;
rotherham@Job:18:18 @ Let them thrust him out of light into darkness, Yea, out of the world, let them chase him;
rotherham@Job:18:19 @ Let him have neither scion nor seed among his people, neither any survivor in his place of sojourn:
rotherham@Job:18:20 @ Over his day, have they been astounded who come behind, and, them who are in advance, a shudder hath seized.
rotherham@Job:18:21 @ Surely, these, are the dwellings of him that is perverse, and, this, is the place of him that knoweth not GOD.
rotherham@Job:19:1 @ Then responded Job, and said:
rotherham@Job:19:2 @ How long will ye grieve my soul? or crush me with words?
rotherham@Job:19:3 @ These ten times, have ye reviled me, Shameless ye wrong me.
rotherham@Job:19:4 @ And even if indeed I have erred, with myself lodgeth mine error.
rotherham@Job:19:5 @ If indeed, against me, ye must needs magnify yourselves, and plead, against me, my reproach.
rotherham@Job:19:6 @ Know, then, that, God, hath overthrown me, and, within his net, enclosed me.
rotherham@Job:19:7 @ Lo! I cryout: Violence! but receive no answer, I cry aloud, but there is no vindication;
rotherham@Job:19:8 @ My way, hath he walled up, that I cannot pass, and, upon my paths, hath he made darkness rest;
rotherham@Job:19:9 @ My gloryfrom off me, hath he stripped, and hath removed the crown of my head;
rotherham@Job:19:10 @ He hath ruined me on every side, and I am gone, and he hath taken awaylike a treemy hope;
rotherham@Job:19:11 @ Yea he hath kindled against me his anger, and accounted me towards him like unto his adversaries;
rotherham@Job:19:12 @ Together, enter his troops and have cast up, against me, their mound, and have encamped all around my tent;
rotherham@Job:19:13 @ My Brethrenfrom beside me, hath he moved far away, and, mine acquaintance, are wholly estranged from me;
rotherham@Job:19:14 @ Failed me, have my near of kin, and, mine intimate acquaintances, have forgotten me;
rotherham@Job:19:15 @ Ye guests of my house and my maidens, A stranger, have ye accounted me, An alien, have I become in their eyes;
rotherham@Job:19:16 @ To mine own servant, I called, and he would not answer, With mine own mouth, I kept entreating him;
rotherham@Job:19:17 @ My breath, is strange to my wife, and I am loathsome to the sons of my own mother;
rotherham@Job:19:18 @ Even young children, despise me, I rise up, and they speak against me;
rotherham@Job:19:19 @ All the men of mine intimate circle abhor me, and, these whom I loved, have turned against me;
rotherham@Job:19:20 @ Unto my skin and unto my flesh, have my bones cleaved, and I have escaped with the akin of my teeth.
rotherham@Job:19:21 @ Pity me! pity me! ye, my friends, for, the hand of GOD, hath stricken me!
rotherham@Job:19:22 @ Wherefore should ye persecute me as GOD? and, with my flesh, should not he satisfied?
rotherham@Job:19:23 @ Oh, then, that my words, could be written, Oh that, in a record, they could be inscribed:
rotherham@Job:19:24 @ That, with a stylus of iron and lead, for all timein the rock, they could be graven!
rotherham@Job:19:25 @ But, I, know that, my redeemer, liveth, and, as the Last over dust, will he arise;
rotherham@Job:19:26 @ And, though, after my skin is struck off, this, yet, apart from my flesh, shall I see GOD:
rotherham@Job:19:27 @ Whom, I myself, shall see, on my side, and, mine own eyes, have looked upon, and not those of a stranger. Exhausted are my deepest desires in my bosom!
rotherham@Job:19:28 @ Surely ye should say Why should we persecute him? seeing, the root of the matter, is found in me.
rotherham@Job:19:29 @ Be ye afraidon your partof the face of the sword, because, wrath,
rotherham@Job:20:1 @ Then responded Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
rotherham@Job:20:2 @ Not so, do my thoughts answer me, and to this end, is my haste within me:
rotherham@Job:20:3 @ The correction meant to confound me, I must hear, but, the spiritout of my understanding, will give me a reply.
rotherham@Job:20:4 @ Knowest thou, thisfrom antiquity, from the placing of man upon earth:
rotherham@Job:20:5 @ That, the joy-shout of the lawless, is short, and, the rejoicing of the impious, for a moment?
rotherham@Job:20:6 @ Though his elevation mount up to the heavens, and, his head, to the clouds, doth reach,
rotherham@Job:20:7 @ Like his own stubble, shall he utterly perish, They who had seen him, shall say, Where is he?
rotherham@Job:20:8 @ Like a dream, shall he fly away, and they shall not find him, yea he shall be chased away, as a vision of the night.
rotherham@Job:20:9 @ The eye that hath scanned him, shall not do it again, neither, any more, shall his place behold him:
rotherham@Job:20:10 @ His children, shall seek the favour of the poor, and, his own hand, shall give back his wealth.
rotherham@Job:20:11 @ His bones, are full of youthful vigour, yet, with himin the dust, shall it lie down.
rotherham@Job:20:12 @ Though, a sweet taste in his mouth, be given by vice, though he hide it under his tongue;
rotherham@Job:20:13 @ Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but retain it in the midst of his mouth,
rotherham@Job:20:14 @ His food, in his stomach, is changed, the gall of adders, within him!
rotherham@Job:20:15 @ Wealth, hath he swallowed, and hath vomited the same, Out of his belly, shall, GOD, drive it forth:
rotherham@Job:20:16 @ The poison of adders, shall he suck, The tongue of the viper shall slay him;
rotherham@Job:20:17 @ Let him not see in the channels the flowings of torrents of honey and milk.
rotherham@Job:20:18 @ In vain, he toiled, he shall not swallow, like wealth to be restored, in which he cannot exult!
rotherham@Job:20:19 @ For he hath oppressedhath forsaken the poor, A house, hath he seized, which he cannot rebuild.
rotherham@Job:20:20 @ Surely he hath known no peace in his inmost mind, With his dearest thing, shall he not get away:
rotherham@Job:20:21 @ Nothing escaped his devouring greed, For this cause, shall his prosperity not continue:
rotherham@Job:20:22 @ When his abundance is gone, he shall be in straits, All the power of distress, shall come upon him.
rotherham@Job:20:23 @ It shall be that, to fill his belly, he will thrust at him the glow of his anger, and rain upon him for his punishment.
rotherham@Job:20:24 @ He shall flee from the armour of iron, There shall pierce him, a bow of bronze!
rotherham@Job:20:25 @ He hath drawn it out, and it hath come forth out of his back, yea the flashing arrow-head, out of his gall, There shall march on himterrors:
rotherham@Job:20:26 @ Every misfortune, is laid up for his treasures, There shall consume, a fire, not blown up, it shall destroy what remaineth in his tent:
rotherham@Job:20:27 @ The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and, the earth, be rising up against him:
rotherham@Job:20:28 @ The increase of his house shall vanish, melting away in the day of his anger.
rotherham@Job:20:29 @ This, is the portion of the lawless man, from God, and the inheritance decreed him from the Mighty One.
