1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:1וַ֭יַּעַן בִּלְדַּ֥ד הַשּׁוּחִ֗י וַיֹאמַֽר׃‪‬
2“How long will you speak these things, And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?2עַד־ אָ֥ן תְּמַלֶּל־ אֵ֑לֶּה וְר֥וּחַ כַּ֝בִּיר אִמְרֵי־ פִֽיךָ׃
3Does God subvert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert justice?3הַ֭אֵל יְעַוֵּ֣ת מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וְאִם־ שַׁ֝דַּ֗י יְעַוֵּֽת־ צֶֽדֶק׃
4If your sons have sinned against Him, He has cast them away for their transgression.4אִם־ בָּנֶ֥יךָ חָֽטְאוּ־ ל֑וֹ וַֽ֝יְשַׁלְּחֵ֗ם בְּיַד־ פִּשְׁעָֽם׃
5If you would earnestly seek God And make your supplication to the Almighty,5אִם־ אַ֭תָּה תְּשַׁחֵ֣ר אֶל־ אֵ֑ל וְאֶל־ שַׁ֝דַּ֗י תִּתְחַנָּֽן׃
6If you were pure and upright, Surely now He would awake for you, And prosper your rightful dwelling place.6אִם־ זַ֥ךְ וְיָשָׁ֗ר אָ֥תָּה כִּי־ עַ֭תָּה יָעִ֣יר עָלֶ֑יךָ וְ֝שִׁלַּ֗ם נְוַ֣ת צִדְקֶֽךָ׃
7Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.7וְהָיָ֣ה רֵאשִׁיתְךָ֣ מִצְעָ֑ר וְ֝אַחֲרִיתְךָ֗ יִשְׂגֶּ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃
8“For inquire, please, of the former age, And consider the things discovered by their fathers;8כִּֽי־ שְׁאַל־ נָ֭א לְדֹ֣ר רִישׁ֑וֹן וְ֝כוֹנֵ֗ן לְחֵ֣קֶר אֲבוֹתָֽם׃
9For we were born yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days on earth are a shadow.9כִּֽי־ תְמ֣וֹל אֲ֭נַחְנוּ וְלֹ֣א נֵדָ֑ע כִּ֤י צֵ֖ל יָמֵ֣ינוּ עֲלֵי־ אָֽרֶץ׃
10Will they not teach you and tell you, And utter words from their heart?10הֲלֹא־ הֵ֣ם י֭וֹרוּךָ יֹ֣אמְרוּ לָ֑ךְ וּ֝מִלִּבָּ֗ם יוֹצִ֥אוּ מִלִּֽים׃
11“Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the reeds flourish without water?11הֲיִֽגְאֶה־ גֹּ֭מֶא בְּלֹ֣א בִצָּ֑ה יִשְׂגֶּה־ אָ֥חוּ בְלִי־ מָֽיִם׃
12While it is yet green and not cut down, It withers before any other plant.12עֹדֶ֣נּוּ בְ֭אִבּוֹ לֹ֣א יִקָּטֵ֑ף וְלִפְנֵ֖י כָל־ חָצִ֣יר יִיבָֽשׁ׃
13So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,13כֵּ֗ן אָ֭רְחוֹת כָּל־ שֹׁ֣כְחֵי אֵ֑ל וְתִקְוַ֖ת חָנֵ֣ף תֹּאבֵֽד׃
14Whose confidence shall be cut off, And whose trust is a spider’s web.14אֲשֶׁר־ יָק֥וֹט כִּסְל֑וֹ וּבֵ֥ית עַ֝כָּבִ֗ישׁ מִבְטַחֽוֹ׃
15He leans on his house, but it does not stand. He holds it fast, but it does not endure.15יִשָּׁעֵ֣ן עַל־ בֵּ֭יתוֹ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲמֹ֑ד יַחֲזִ֥יק בּ֝֗וֹ וְלֹ֣א יָקֽוּם׃
16He grows green in the sun, And his branches spread out in his garden.16רָטֹ֣ב ה֭וּא לִפְנֵי־ שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְעַ֥ל גַּ֝נָּת֗וֹ יֹֽנַקְתּ֥וֹ תֵצֵֽא׃
17His roots wrap around the rock heap, And look for a place in the stones.17עַל־ גַּ֭ל שָֽׁרָשָׁ֣יו יְסֻבָּ֑כוּ בֵּ֖ית אֲבָנִ֣ים יֶחֱזֶֽה׃
18If he is destroyed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’18אִם־ יְבַלְּעֶ֥נּוּ מִמְּקוֹמ֑וֹ וְכִ֥חֶשׁ בּ֝֗וֹ לֹ֣א רְאִיתִֽיךָ׃
19“Behold, this is the joy of His way, And out of the earth others will grow.19הֶן־ ה֭וּא מְשׂ֣וֹשׂ דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וּ֝מֵעָפָ֗ר אַחֵ֥ר יִצְמָֽחוּ׃
20Behold, God will not cast away the blameless, Nor will He uphold the evildoers.20הֶן־ אֵ֭ל לֹ֣א יִמְאַס־ תָּ֑ם וְלֹֽא־ יַ֝חֲזִ֗יק בְּיַד־ מְרֵעִֽים׃
21He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, And your lips with rejoicing.21עַד־ יְמַלֵּ֣ה שְׂח֣וֹק פִּ֑יךָ וּשְׂפָתֶ֥יךָ תְרוּעָֽה׃
22Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing.”22שֹׂנְאֶ֥יךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־ בֹ֑שֶׁת וְאֹ֖הֶל רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֵינֶֽנּוּ׃ פ
