2When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak.
2How long will it be before you have done talking? Get wisdom, and then we will say what is in our minds.
3Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes!
3Why do we seem as beasts in your eyes, and as completely without knowledge?
4(He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place?
4But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?
5Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire.
5For the light of the sinner is put out, and the flame of his fire is not shining.
6The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.
6The light is dark in his tent, and the light shining over him is put out.
7Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.
7The steps of his strength become short, and by his design destruction overtakes him.
8For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.
8His feet take him into the net, and he goes walking into the cords.
9Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing.
9His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip.
10Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.
10The twisted cord is put secretly in the earth to take him, and the cord is placed in his way.
11Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him--at his feet.
11He is overcome by fears on every side, they go after him at every step.
12Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side.
12His strength is made feeble for need of food, and destruction is waiting for his falling footstep.
13It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born.
13His skin is wasted by disease, and his body is food for the worst of diseases.
14Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.
14He is pulled out of his tent where he was safe, and he is taken away to the king of fears.
15It dwelleth in his tent--out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.
15In his tent will be seen that which is not his, burning stone is dropped on his house.
16From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.
16Under the earth his roots are dry, and over it his branch is cut off.
17His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street.
17His memory is gone from the earth, and in the open country there is no knowledge of his name.
18They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.
18He is sent away from the light into the dark; he is forced out of the world.
19He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.
19He has no offspring or family among his people, and in his living-place there is no one of his name.
