Job 21:17-34 But in fact, even the lamp of the impious shall be extinguished, and there shall come upon them the final event, and pangs from them they shall have from anger.

17 G3756 But in fact, G3375 G1161 G235 G2532 even G765 [²of the impious G3088 ¹ the lamp] G4570 shall be extinguished, G1904 and there shall come upon G1161 G1473 them G3588 the G2692 final event, G5604 and pangs G1161 G1473 from them G2192 they shall have G575 from G3709 anger.

18 G1510.8.6 And they will be G1161 G5618 as G892 straw G4253 before G417 the wind, G2228 or G5618 as G2868 a cloud of dust G3739 which G5306.2 [²took up G2978 ¹ the tempest].

19 G1587 May [²fail G5207 ³ his sons G5224 ¹his possessions]; G1473 G467 and God shall recompense G4314 to G1473 him, G2532 and G1097 he shall know it .

20 G1492 May [²behold G3588 G3788 ¹his eyes] G1473 G3588 G1438 his own G4967 slaughter; G575 and by G1161 G2962 the lord G3361 may he not be delivered. G1295

21 G3754 For G3588 G2307 his will G1473 G1722 is in G3624 his house G1473 G3326 with G1473 him, G2532 and G706 the numbers G3376 of his months G1473 G1244 were divided.

22 G4220 Is it G3756 not G3588 the G2962 lord G1510.2.3 who is G3588 the one G1321 teaching G4907 understanding G2532 and G1989.1 higher knowledge? G1473 And is it not he who G1161 G4680 [² the wise G1252 ¹litigates].

23 G3778 This one G599 shall die G1722 in G2904 the might G571.3 of his singleness of purpose, G1473 G3650 but entirely G1161 G2137.2 enjoying pleasure G2532 and G2112.1 prospering;

24 G3588 G1161 and G1458.3 his insides G1473 G4134 are full G4720.1 of fat, G3452 [³marrow G1161 ¹and G1473 ²his] G1315.1 is diffused in him .

25 G3588 G1161 And G5053 another one comes to an end G5259 in G4088 bitterness G5590 of soul, G3756 not G2068 eating G3762 anything G18 good.

26 G3661 But in one accord G1161 G1909 upon G1093 the earth G2837 they sleep, G4549.1 and rottenness G1161 G1473 covers them. G2572

27 G5620 So as G1492 I know G1473 you, G3754 that G5110.1 you daringly G1945 press upon G1473 me;

28 G3754 that G2046 you shall say, G4226 Where G1510.2.3 is G3624 the house G758 of the ruler? G2532 and G4226 where G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G4629.2 protection G3588 of the G4638 tents G3588 of the G765 impious?

29 G2065 Ask G3899 the ones passing G3598 by the way, G2532 and G3588 G4592 [²their signs G1473 G3756 ¹you shall not separate from]. G526

30 G3754 For G1519 unto G2250 the day G684 of destruction G2893 [³lightens G3588 ¹the G4190 ²wicked one]; G1519 for G2250 the day G3709 of his anger G1473 G520 he shall be taken away.

31 G5100 Who G518 will report G1909 unto G4383 his face G1473 G3588 G3598 his way? G1473 G2532 And G1473 what he G4160 did, G5100 who G467 shall recompense G1473 to him?

32 G2532 And G1473 he G1519 [²unto G5028 ³ the tombs G667 ¹was carried away]; G2532 and G1909 [²upon G4987.2 ³ the heaps G69 ¹stayed awake].

33 G1098.2 [³was sweet G1473 ⁴to him G5469.1 ¹ The gravel G5493 ²of the rushing stream], G2532 and G3694 after G1473 him G3956 every G444 man G565 shall go forth, G2532 and G1715 in front of G1473 him G382 there are innumerable ones.

34 G4459 And how G1161 G3870 do you comfort G1473 me G2756 in vain? G3588 G1161 but G1473 for me G2664 to rest G575 from G1473 you G3762 is nothing.

18 H8401 They are as stubble H6440 before H7307 the wind H4671 , and as chaff H5492 that the storm H1589 [H8804] carrieth away.

19 H433 God H6845 [H8799] layeth up H205 his iniquity H1121 for his children H7999 [H8762] : he rewardeth H3045 [H8799] him, and he shall know it.

20 H5869 His eyes H7200 [H8799] shall see H3589 his destruction H8354 [H8799] , and he shall drink H2534 of the wrath H7706 of the Almighty.

21 H2656 For what pleasure H1004 hath he in his house H310 after H4557 him, when the number H2320 of his months H2686 [H8795] is cut off in the midst?

22 H3925 [H8762] Shall any teach H410 God H1847 knowledge H8199 [H8799] ? seeing he judgeth H7311 [H8802] those that are high.

23 H4191 [H8799] One dieth H8537 in his full H6106 strength H7946 , being wholly at ease H7961 and quiet.

24 H5845 His breasts H4390 [H8804] are full H2461 of milk H6106 , and his bones H8248 [H8792] are moistened H4221 with marrow.

25 H4191 [H8799] And another dieth H4751 in the bitterness H5315 of his soul H398 [H8804] , and never eateth H2896 with pleasure.

26 H7901 [H8799] They shall lie down H3162 alike H6083 in the dust H7415 , and the worms H3680 [H8762] shall cover them.

27 H3045 [H8804] Behold, I know H4284 your thoughts H4209 , and the devices H2554 [H8799] which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

28 H559 [H8799] For ye say H1004 , Where is the house H5081 of the prince H4908 ? and where are the dwelling H168 places H7563 of the wicked?

29 H7592 [H8804] Have ye not asked H5674 [H8802] them that go H1870 by the way H5234 [H8762] ? and do ye not know H226 their signs,

30 H7451 That the wicked H2820 [H8735] is reserved H3117 to the day H343 of destruction H2986 [H8714] ? they shall be brought forth H3117 to the day H5678 of wrath.

31 H5046 [H8686] Who shall declare H1870 his way H6440 to his face H7999 [H8762] ? and who shall repay H6213 [H8804] him what he hath done?

32 H2986 [H8714] Yet he shall be brought H6913 to the grave H8245 [H8799] , and shall remain H1430 in the tomb.

33 H7263 The clods H5158 of the valley H4985 [H8804] shall be sweet H120 to him, and every man H4900 [H8799] shall draw H310 after H4557 him, as there are innumerable H6440 before him.

34 H5162 [H8762] How then comfort H1892 ye me in vain H8666 , seeing in your answers H7604 [H8738] there remaineth H4604 falsehood?

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Nevertheless, the lamp of the ungodly also shall be put out, and destruction shall come upon them, and pangs of vengeance shall seize them. ¹⁸ And they shall be as chaff before the wind, or as dust which the storm has taken up. ¹⁹ Let his substance fail to supply his children: God shall recompense him, and he shall know it. ²⁰ Let his eyes see his own destruction, and let him not be saved by the Lord. ²¹ For his desire is in his house with him, and the number of his months has been suddenly cut off. ²² Is it not the Lord who teaches understanding and knowledge? and does not he judge murders? ²³ One shall die in his perfect strength, and wholly at ease and prosperous; ²⁴ and his inwards are full of fat, and his marrow is diffused throughout him. ²⁵ And another dies in bitterness of soul, not eating any good thing. ²⁶ But they lie down in the earth together, and corruption covers them. ²⁷ So I know you, that ye presumptuously attack me: ²⁸ so that ye will say, Where is the house of the prince? and where is the covering of the tabernacles of the ungodly? ²⁹ Ask those that go by the way, and do not disown their tokens. ³⁰ For the wicked hastens to the day of destruction: they shall be led away for the day of his vengeance. ³¹ Who will tell him his way to his face, whereas he has done it? who shall recompense him? ³² And he has been led away to the tombs, and he has watched over the heaps. ³³ The stones of the valley have been sweet to him, and every man shall depart after him, and there are innumerable ones before him. ³⁴ How then do ye comfort me in vain? whereas I have no rest from your molestation.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ How often is the lamp of the wicked quenched? and how often cometh over them their calamity? and doth God distribute their lot in his anger? ¹⁸ Are they as straw before the wind, and as chaff which the stealeth away? ¹⁹ Should God lay up for his children his wrong-doing? it were better that he reward him, that he might know it himself. ²⁰ His own eyes ought to see his downfall, and from the wrath of the Almighty ought he to drink. ²¹ For what care hath he for his household after him, when the number of his months is all apportioned to him? ²² Is this fitting God, who teacheth knowledge? him who judgeth those that are highest? ²³ That this one dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet; ²⁴ His vessels being full of healthy fluid, and the marrow of his bones being well moistened: ²⁵ While this other dieth with an embittered soul, and hath never partaken of any happiness; ²⁶ And yet together they must lie down in the dust, and the worms will cover them? ²⁷ Behold, I know your thoughts, and the opinions which ye wrongfully devise against me. ²⁸ For ye say, Where is the house of the noble-minded? and where is the tent of the dwelling-places of the wicked? ²⁹ Have ye not asked the wayfarers? surely their token ye cannot disregard, ³⁰ That the bad man is reserved for the day of calamity, that the wicked are carried forward to the day of wrath. ³¹ But who will tell him to his face of his way? and who will repay him what he hath done? ³² Yea he will indeed be carried to the grave, and men will quickly think of his monument: ³³ Sweet are to him the clods of the valley; and after him succeedeth every man, as those that were before him are without number. ³⁴ How then will ye comfort me with vanity? and of your answers there remaineth only deception.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger. ¹⁸ They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane hath stolen away, ¹⁹ God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth recompense unto him—and he knoweth. ²⁰ His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the Mighty he drinketh. ²¹ For what is his delight in his house after him, And the number of his months cut off? ²² To God doth one teach knowledge, And He the high doth judge? ²³ This one dieth in his perfect strength, Wholly at ease and quiet. ²⁴ His breasts have been full of milk, And marrow his bones doth moisten. ²⁵ And this one dieth with a bitter soul, And have not eaten with gladness. ²⁶ Together—on the dust they lie down, And the worm doth cover them over.
²⁷ Lo, I have known your thoughts, And the devices against me ye do wrongfully. ²⁸ For ye say, `Where is the house of the noble?

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ How often the light of the unjust shall be extinguished, and their destruction will come upon them.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ ¶ Il est vrai qu’il advient aussi que leur lampe s’éteigne; ils essuient des catastrophes; des douleurs leur sont envoyées par la colère de Dieu. ¹⁸ Ils seront alors comme de la paille que le vent emporte, ou comme le tourbillon de poussière qu’une tempête fait voler. ¹⁹ Que les richesses du méchant échappent à ses fils; le Seigneur le rétribuera et il saura pourquoi. ²⁰ Que ses yeux voient sa propre immolation; qu’il ne soit pas épargné par le Seigneur. ²¹ Car la volonté de Dieu est avec lui dans sa maison, et son nombre de mois lui a été compté. ²² Le Seigneur n’et-il pas le seul qui distribue l’intelligence et le savoir? Seul il juge les scélérats. ²³ Tel mourra dans la plénitude de son innocence, complètement heureux et bien portant; ²⁴ Les entrailles pleines de graisse et regorgeant de mœlle. ²⁵ Un autre finit en l’amertume de son âme, sans avoir jamais rien mangé de bon. ²⁶ Ils dorment ensemble sous la terre; la pourriture les enveloppe. ²⁷ ¶ ²⁸ ²⁹ ³⁰ ³¹ ³² ³³ ³⁴

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷
Combien de fois la lampe des méchants s'éteint-elle, et leur calamité vient-elle sur eux, et leur distribue-t-Il des douleurs dans sa colère, ¹⁸ Et sont-ils comme la paille devant le vent, et comme la balle chassée par la tempête? ¹⁹ +Dieu réserve à ses fils la punition de sa méchanceté: il la lui rend, et il le saura; ²⁰ Ses yeux verront sa calamité, et il boira de la fureur du Tout-puissant. ²¹ Car quel plaisir a-t-il à sa maison après lui, quand le nombre de ses mois est tranché? ²² Est-ce à *Dieu qu'on enseignera la connaissance, quand c'est lui qui juge ceux qui sont haut élevés? ²³ L'un meurt en pleine vigueur, entièrement tranquille et à l'aise; ²⁴ Ses flancs sont garnis de graisse, et la moelle de ses os est abreuvée. ²⁵ Et l'autre meurt dans l'amertume de son âme et n'a jamais goûté le bonheur. ²⁶ Ils gisent ensemble sur la poussière, et les vers les couvrent. ²⁷
Voici, je connais vos pensées, et vos plans contre moi pour me faire violence. ²⁸ Car vous dites: Où est la maison du noble, et où la tente des demeures des méchants? ²⁹ Ne l'avez-vous pas demandé à ceux qui passent par le chemin? Et n'avez-vous pas reconnu ce qui les distingue: ³⁰ Que le méchant est épargné pour le jour de la calamité, qu'ils sont emmenés au jour de la fureur? ³¹ Qui lui dira en face sa voie? et ce qu'il a fait, qui le lui rendra? ³² Il sera conduit dans un sépulcre, et sur le tertre il veillera. ³³ Les mottes de la vallée lui sont douces; et après lui tout homme suit à la file, et ceux qui l'ont précédé sont sans nombre. ³⁴ Et comment me consolez-vous avec de vaines consolations? Vos réponses restent perfides.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Aussi combien de fois arrive-t-il que la lampe des méchants est éteinte, et que l'orage vient sur eux! Dieu leur distribuera leurs portions en sa colère. ¹⁸ Ils seront comme la paille exposée au vent, et comme la balle qui est enlevée par le tourbillon. ¹⁹ Dieu réservera aux enfants du méchant la punition de ses violences, il la leur rendra, et il le saura. ²⁰ Ses yeux verront sa ruine, et il boira le calice de la colère du Tout-puissant. ²¹ Et quel plaisir aura-t-il en sa maison, laquelle il laisse après soi, puisque le nombre de ses mois aura été retranché ? ²² Enseignerait-on la science au Dieu Fort, à lui qui juge ceux qui sont élevés ? ²³ L'un meurt dans toute sa vigueur, tranquille et en repos; ²⁴ Ses vaisseaux sont remplis de lait, et ses os sont abreuvés de moëlle. ²⁵ Et l'autre meurt dans l'amertume de son âme, et n'ayant jamais fait bonne chère. ²⁶ Et néanmoins ils sont couchés également dans la poudre, et les vers les couvrent. ²⁷ Voilà, je connais vos pensées, et les jugements que vous formez contre moi. ²⁸ Car vous dites : Où est la maison de cet homme si puissant, et où est la tente dans laquelle les méchants demeuraient ? ²⁹ Ne vous êtes-vous jamais informés des voyageurs, et n'avez-vous pas appris par les rapports qu'ils vous ont faits, ³⁰ Que le méchant est réservé pour le jour de la ruine, pour le jour que les fureurs sont envoyées ? ³¹ Mais qui le reprendra en face de sa conduite ? et qui lui rendra le mal qu'il a fait ? ³² Il sera néanmoins porté au sépulcre, et il demeurera dans le tombeau. ³³ Les mottes des vallées lui sont agréables; et tout le monde s'en va à la file après lui, et des gens sans nombre marchent au-devant de lui. ³⁴ Comment donc me donnez-vous des consolations vaines, puisqu'il y a toujours de la prévarication dans vos réponses ?

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Mais arrive-t-il souvent que leur lampe s'éteigne, Que la misère fonde sur eux, Que Dieu leur distribue leur part dans sa colère, ¹⁸ Qu'ils soient comme la paille emportée par le vent, Comme la balle enlevée par le tourbillon? ¹⁹ Est-ce pour les fils que Dieu réserve le châtiment du père? Mais c'est lui que Dieu devrait punir, pour qu'il le sente; ²⁰ C'est lui qui devrait contempler sa propre ruine, C'est lui qui devrait boire la colère du Tout-Puissant. ²¹ Car, que lui importe sa maison après lui, Quand le nombre de ses mois est achevé? ²² Est-ce à Dieu qu'on donnera de la science, A lui qui gouverne les esprits célestes? ²³ L'un meurt au sein du bien-être, De la paix et du bonheur, ²⁴ Les flancs chargés de graisse Et la moelle des os remplie de sève; ²⁵ L'autre meurt, l'amertume dans l'âme, Sans avoir joui d'aucun bien. ²⁶ Et tous deux se couchent dans la poussière, Tous deux deviennent la pâture des vers. ²⁷ Je sais bien quelles sont vos pensées, Quels jugements iniques vous portez sur moi. ²⁸ Vous dites: Où est la maison de l'homme puissant? Où est la tente qu'habitaient les impies? ²⁹ Mais quoi! n'avez-vous point interrogé les voyageurs, Et voulez-vous méconnaître ce qu'ils prouvent? ³⁰ Au jour du malheur, le méchant est épargné; Au jour de la colère, il échappe. ³¹ Qui lui reproche en face sa conduite? Qui lui rend ce qu'il a fait? ³² Il est porté dans un sépulcre, Et il veille encore sur sa tombe. ³³ Les mottes de la vallée lui sont légères; Et tous après lui suivront la même voie, Comme une multitude l'a déjà suivie. ³⁴ Pourquoi donc m'offrir de vaines consolations? Ce qui reste de vos réponses n'est que perfidie.

Ja hänen kuukauttensa luku tuskin tulee puolillensa. ²² Kuka tahtoo opettaa Jumalaa, joka korkiatkin tuomitsee? ²³ Tämä kuolee vauraana ja terveenä, rikkaana ja onnellisena. ²⁴ Hänen piimäastiansa ovat täynnä rieskaa, ja hänen luunsa ovat täynnä ydintä. ²⁵ Mutta toinen kuolee murheellisella mielellä, ja ei koskaan syönyt ilossa. ²⁶ Ja he makaavat ynnä maassa, ja madot peittävät heidät. ²⁷ Katso, minä tunnen teidän ajatuksenne ja teidän väärän aivoituksenne minua vastaan. ²⁸ Sillä te sanotte: kussa ruhtinaan huone on? ja kussa ovat majat, joissa jumalattomat asuiva? ²⁹ Ettekö ole tutkineet vaeltavaisilta? ja ettekö tiedä hänen merkkejänsä? ³⁰ Sillä paha säästetään kadotuksen päivään, ja hän pysyy hamaan vihan päivään asti. ³¹ Kuka sanoo hänen edessänsä hänen tiensä? ja kuka kostaa hänelle sen minkä hän tehnyt on? ³² Mutta hän viedään hautaan, ja täytyy joukossa pysyä. ³³ Ojan multa kelpasi hänelle, ja kaikki ihmiset viedään hänen perässänsä; ja ne jotka ovat hänen edellänsä olleet, ovat epälukuiset. ³⁴ Miksi te minua lohdutatte turhaan? ja teidän vastauksenne löydetään vääräksi.

Kostakoon hän hänelle itselleen, niin että hän sen tuntee. ²⁰ Nähköön hän perikatonsa omin silmin, juokoon itse Kaikkivaltiaan vihan. ²¹ Sillä mitä hän välittää perheestänsä, jälkeensä jäävistä, kun hänen kuukausiensa luku on täysi! ²² Onko opetettava ymmärrystä Jumalalle, hänelle, joka taivaallisetkin tuomitsee? ²³ Toinen kuolee täydessä onnessansa, kaikessa rauhassa ja levossa; ²⁴ hänen astiansa ovat maitoa täynnä, ja hänen luunsa juotetaan ytimellä. ²⁵ Toinen kuolee katkeralla mielellä, saamatta onnea maistaa. ²⁶ Yhdessä he panevat maata multaan, ja madot peittävät heidät. ²⁷ Katso, minä tunnen teidän ajatuksenne ja juonet, joilla mielitte sortaa minut. ²⁸ Kun sanotte: 'Missä on nyt mahtimiehen talo, missä maja, jossa jumalattomat asuivat?' ²⁹ niin ettekö ole kysyneet maita kulkeneilta?

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Quando avvien mai che la lucerna degli empi si spenga, che piombi loro addosso la ruina, e che Dio, nella sua ira, li retribuisca di pene? ¹⁸ Quando son essi mai come paglia al vento, come pula portata via dall’uragano? ¹⁹ "Iddio", mi dite, "serba castigo pei figli dell’empio".

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Juk dažnai užgęsta nedorėlių žibintas ir juos prislegia nelaimės! Dievas užsirūstinęs siunčia jiems vargų. ¹⁸ Jie yra kaip šiaudai prieš vėją, kaip audros nunešami pelai. ¹⁹ Jūs sakote, kad Dievas kaupia nedorybes jo vaikams! Tegul Jis atlygina jam pačiam, kad jis tai žinotų. ²⁰ Jo akys tepamato savo pražūtį ir jis tegeria Visagalio rūstybę. ²¹ Kam jam rūpintis savo namais po savęs, kai jo mėnesių skaičius bus nutrauktas? ²² Argi galima pamokyti išminties Dievą, kuris teisia valdovus? ²³ Vienas miršta kupinas jėgų, laisvas nuo rūpesčių ir ramus, ²⁴ jo viduriai pilni taukų ir jo kaulai prisigėrę smegenų. ²⁵ Kitas miršta su apkartusia siela, nieko gero neragavęs. ²⁶ Abu paguldomi į dulkes, ir kirmėlės juos apdengia. ²⁷ Aš žinau jūsų mintis ir jūsų nedoras užmačias prieš mane. ²⁸ Jūs sakote: ‘Kur kunigaikščių namai ir kur nedorėlių buveinės?’ ²⁹ Pasiklausykite keliautojų ir pasimokykite iš jų pasakojimų, ³⁰ kad nedorėlis palaikomas žlugimo dienai ir bus atvestas į rūstybės dieną. ³¹ Kas pasakys jam į akis apie jo kelius? Kas atlygins jam už tai, ką jis padarė? ³² Jis bus nuvežtas į kapines ir pasiliks kape. ³³ Slėnio grumstai bus jam mieli; kiekvienas žmogus nueis paskui jį ir prieš jį buvo nesuskaitoma daugybė. ³⁴ Kaip tad jūs mane tuščiai guodžiate, nes jūsų atsakymai yra tik apgaulė”.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Częstoż pochodnia niepobożnych gaśnie? a zginienie ich przychodzi na nich? Oddziela im Bóg boleści w gniewie swoim. ¹⁸ Stawają się jako plewa przed wiatrem, i jako perz, który wicher porywa. ¹⁹ Bo Bóg chowa synom jego pomstę jego; nadgradza mu, aby to poczuł. ²⁰ Oglądają oczy jego nieszczęście swoje, a z popędliwości Wszechmocnego pić będzie. ²¹ Co za staranie jego o domu jego po nim, gdyż liczba miesięcy jego umniejszona jest? ²² Izali Boga kto nauczy umiejętności, gdyż on wysokich sądzi? ²³ Ten umiera w doskonałej sile swojej, gdy zewsząd bezpieczny i spokojny jest; ²⁴ Gdy piersi jego pełne są mleka, a szpik kości jego odwilża się, ²⁵ Inny zaś umiera w gorzkości ducha, który nie jadał z uciechą. ²⁶ Spólnie w prochu leżeć będą, a robaki ich okryją. ²⁷ Oto ja znam myśli wasze i zamysły, które przeciwko mnie złośliwie zmyślacie. ²⁸ Bo mówicie: Gdzież jest dom książęcy? gdzie namiot przybytków niepobożnych? ²⁹ Izaliście nie pytali podróżnych? a znaków ich izali znać nie chcecie? ³⁰ Że w dzień zatracenia zły zachowany bywa, w dzień, którego gniew przywiedziony bywa. ³¹ Któż mu oznajmi w oczy drogę jego? a to, co czynił, kto mu odpłaci? ³² Wszakże i on do grobów zaprowadzony będzie, a w kupie umarłych zawżdy zostanie. ³³ Słodnieją mu bryły grobowe, i ciągnie za sobą wszystkich ludzi; a tych, którzy go poprzedzili, niemasz liczby. ³⁴ Jakoż mię tedy próżno cieszycie, gdyż w odpowiedziach waszych zostaje kłamstwo?

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Quantas vezes sucede que se apague a lâmpada dos ímpios? que lhes sobrevenha a sua destruição? que Deus na sua ira lhes reparta dores? ¹⁸ que eles sejam como a palha diante do vento, e como a pragana, que o redemoinho arrebata? ¹⁹ Deus, dizeis vós, reserva a iniquidade do pai para seus filhos, mas é a ele mesmo que Deus deveria punir, para que o conheça. ²⁰ Vejam os seus próprios olhos a sua ruína, e beba ele do furor do Todo-Poderoso. ²¹ Pois, que lhe importa a sua casa depois de morto, quando lhe for cortado o número dos seus meses? ²² Acaso se ensinará ciência a Deus, a ele que julga os excelsos? ²³ Um morre em plena prosperidade, inteiramente sossegado e tranquilo; ²⁴ com os seus baldes cheios de leite, e a medula dos seus ossos humedecida. ²⁵ Outro, ao contrário, morre em amargura de alma, não havendo provado do bem. ²⁶ Juntamente jazem no pó, e os vermes os cobrem. ²⁷ Eis que conheço os vossos pensamentos, e os maus intentos com que me fazeis injustiça. ²⁸ Pois dizeis: Onde está a casa do príncipe, e onde a tenda em que morava o ímpio? ²⁹ Porventura não perguntastes aos viandantes? e não aceitais o seu testemunho, ³⁰ de que o mau é preservado no dia da destruição, e poupado no dia do furor? ³¹ Quem acusará diante dele o seu caminho? e quem lhe dará o pago do que fez? ³² Ele é levado para a sepultura, e vigiam-lhe o túmulo. ³³ Os torrões do vale lhe são doces, e o seguirão todos os homens, como ele o fez aos inumeráveis que o precederam. ³⁴ Como, pois, me ofereceis consolações vãs, quando nas vossas respostas só resta falsidade?

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Hvor ofte utslukkes vel de ugudeliges lampe, og hvor ofte hender det at ulykke kommer over dem? Hvor ofte tildeler han dem vel smerter i sin vrede? ¹⁸ Hvor ofte blir de vel som strå for vinden, som agner stormen fører bort? ¹⁹ Men Gud* gjemmer hans straff til hans barn. - **Ja, men han burde straffe ham selv, så han fikk kjenne det. / {* vil I si.} / {** Dette er Jobs svar.} ²⁰ Med egne øine burde han få se sin undergang, og av den Allmektiges vrede burde han få drikke selv. ²¹ For hvad bryr han sig om sitt hus efter sin død, når hans måneders tall er ute? ²² Vil nogen lære Gud visdom, han som dømmer de høieste*? / {* d.e. englene.} ²³ Den ene dør midt i sin velmakt, helt trygg og rolig; ²⁴ hans kar var fulle av melk, og margen i hans ben var saftfull. ²⁵ Den andre dør med sorg i hjertet og har aldri nytt nogen lykke. ²⁶ Begge ligger de i støvet, og makk dekker dem. ²⁷ Se, jeg kjenner eders tanker og de onde råd hvormed I gjør urett mot mig; ²⁸ for I sier: Hvor er tyrannens hus, og hvor er det telt de ugudelige bor i? ²⁹ Har I aldri spurt dem som har faret vidt omkring? Og I vil vel ikke forkaste deres vidnesbyrd, ³⁰ at den onde spares på ulykkens dag, på vredens dag føres han unda. ³¹ Hvem foreholder ham hans ferd like i hans ansikt? og når han gjør noget, hvem gjengjelder ham det? ³² Til graven bæres han med ære, og over gravhaugen holder de vakt. ³³ Søt er hans hvile i dalens muld, og alle mennesker vandrer i hans spor, og det er ikke tall på dem som har gått foran ham. ³⁴ Hvor kan I da trøste mig med så tom en trøst? Av eders svar blir det bare troløshet tilbake.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ dar de multe ori se întîmplă să li se stingă candela, să vină sărăcia peste ei, să le dea şi lor Dumnezeu partea lor de dureri în mînia Lui, ¹⁸ să fie ca paiul luat de vînt, ca pleava luată de vîrtej? ¹⁹ Veţi zice că pentru fiii Săi păstrează Dumnezeu pedeapsa. Dar pe el, pe nelegiuit, ar trebui să -l pedepsească Dumnezeu, ca să simtă; ²⁰ el ar trebui să-şi vadă nimicirea, el ar trebui să bea mînia Celui Atotputernic. ²¹ Căci, ce -i pasă lui ce va fi de casa lui după el, cînd numărul lunilor i s'a împlinit? ²² Oare pe Dumnezeu Îl vom învăţa minte, pe El, care cîrmuieşte duhurile cereşti? ²³ Unul moare în mijlocul propăşirii, păcii şi fericirii, ²⁴ cu coapsele încărcate de grăsime, şi măduva oaselor plină de suc. ²⁵ Altul moare, cu amărăciunea în suflet, fără să se fi bucurat de vreo fericire, ²⁶ şi amîndoi adorm în ţărînă, amîndoi sînt mîncaţi de viermi. ²⁷ Ştiu eu bine cari sînt gîndurile voastre, ce judecăţi nedrepte rostiţi asupra mea. ²⁸ Voi ziceţi:,Unde este casa apăsătorului? Unde este cortul în care locuiau nelegiuiţii?` ²⁹ Dar ce! n'aţi întrebat pe călători, şi nu ştiţi ce istorisesc ei? ³⁰ Cum în ziua nenorocirii, cel rău este cruţat, şi în ziua mîniei, el scapă. ³¹ Cine îl mustră în faţă pentru purtarea lui? Cine îi răsplăteşte tot ce a făcut? ³² Este dus la groapă, şi i se pune o strajă la mormînt. ³³ Bulgării din vale îi sînt mai uşori, căci toţi oamenii merg după el, şi o mulţime îi merge înainte. ³⁴ Pentruce dar îmi daţi mîngîieri deşerte? Ce mai rămîne din răspunsurile voastre decît viclenie?``

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Як часто світильник безбожним згасає, і приходить на них їх нещастя? Він приділює в гніві Своїм на них пастки! ¹⁸ Вони будуть, немов та солома на вітрі, і немов та полова, що буря схопила її! ¹⁹ Бог ховає синам його кривду Свою та нехай надолужить самому йому, і він знатиме! ²⁰ Нехай його очі побачать нещастя його, й бодай сам він пив гнів Всемогутнього! ²¹ Яке бо старання його про родину по ньому, як для нього число його місяців вже перелічене? ²² Чи буде хто Бога навчати знання, Його, що й небесних судитиме? ²³ Оцей в повній силі своїй помирає, увесь він спокійний та мирний, ²⁴ діжки його повні були молока, а мізок костей його свіжий. ²⁵ А цей помирає з душею огірченою, і доброго не споживав він, ²⁶ та порохом будуть лежати обоє вони, і черва їх покриє... ²⁷ Тож я знаю думки ваші й задуми, що хочете кривдити ними мене. ²⁸ Бож питаєте ви: Де князів дім, і де намет пробування безбожних? ²⁹ Тож спитайтеся тих, що дорогою йдуть, а їхніх ознак не затаюйте: ³⁰ що буває врятований злий в день загибелі, на день гніву відводиться в захист! ³¹ Хто йому розповість у лице про дорогу його? А коли наробив, хто йому надолужить? ³² І на кладовище буде проваджений він, і про могилу подбають... ³³ Скиби долини солодкі йому, і тягнеться кожна людина за ним, а тим, хто попереду нього, немає числа... ³⁴ І як ви мене потішаєте марністю, коли з ваших відповідей зостається сама тільки фальш?...
