1 Then Baladad (Bildad) the shawachay (shuhite) inah (answer / respond),
2 “How id (until / as far as) will you malal (speak) these things? Shall the amaray (Amaray / Amorite) of your pah (mouth) be a kabayar (mighty) rawach (spirit / wind)?
3 Does Al iwath (pervert) mashapat (justice)? Or does the Shaday () iwath (pervert) tzadaq (righteous / just / fair)?
4 If your ban (son) have chataa (sinned) against him, He has delivered them into the shalach (send) of their disobedience.
5 If you want to shachar (seek) Al shachar (diligently), chanan (showing favor) your supplication to the Shaday ().
6 If you were zak (pure) and yashar (upright), surely now he would awaken for you, and make the nawah (habitation) of your tzadaq (righteous / just / fair) shalam (prosperous).
7 Though your raashayath (beginning) was matzair (small), yet your acharayath (latter) end would maad (greatly) shagah (increase).
8 “Please inquire of raashawan (past) dawar (generation / age / period). Find out about the learning of their ab (father).
9 (For we are but of thamawal (yesterday), and yadai (know) nothing, because our yawam (day) on aratz (Earth/land) are a tzal (shadow).)
10 Shall they not yarah (teach) you, amar (said) you, and yatzaa (go out / come out) malayam (words) out of their lab (heart)?
11 “Can the papyrus gaah (grow) up without batzah (mire)? Can the rushes shagah (grow) balay (without) mayam (Waters)?
12 While it is yet in its ab (father), not qatap (cut) down, it yabash (dry land) panayam (face) any other reed.
13 So are the arachawath (paths) of shakach (all) who forget Al. The thaqawah (hope) of the godless man shall abad (destroy / perish),
14 Whose kasal (confidence) shall break apart, Whose mabatach (trust) is a ikabayash (spider's) bayath (house).
15 He shall shain (lean) on his bayath (house), but it shall not imad (stand). He shall cling to it, but it shall not qawam (rise up).
16 He is ratab (green) panayam (face) the shamash (sun). His shoots yatzaa (go out / come out) forth over his ganah (garden).
17 His sharash (roots) are sabak (wrapped) around the rock pile. He chazah (sees) the bayath (house) of abanayam (stones).
18 If he is balai (destroyed) from his maqawam (place), then it shall kachash (deny) him, saying, ‘I raah (see / saw) not seen you.’
19 Behold, this is the mashawash (joy) of his darak (way): out of the ipar (earth), others shall tzamach (spring).
20 “Behold, Al will not maas (cast) away a blameless chazaq (man), neither will he uphold the evildoers.
21 He will still malaa (fill) your pah (mouth) with shachawaq (laughter/joking matter), your shapah (lips) with tharawaih (shouting).
22 Those who shanaa (hate) you shall be labash (clothed) with bashath (shame). The ahal (tent) of the rashai (wicked) shall be no more.”
