His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 18 of Job. Bildad again describes the destiny of the wicked through a long series of images of darkness, traps, loss, and terror. The speech presents a traditional pattern of judgment against the wicked, but its implicit application to Job becomes increasingly problematic. The description of the wicked person’s fate functions almost as a personal accusation.

Sein Gedächtnis wird vergehen in dem Lande, und er wird keinen Namen haben auf der Gasse.
Su memoria perecerá de la tierra, Y no tendrá nombre por las calles.
Su recuerdo desaparecerá de la tierra y su nombre no se oirá en las calles.
Sa mémoire disparaît de la terre, Son nom n'est plus sur la face des champs.
La lor memoria perirà d’in su la terra, E non avranno nome alcuno sopra le piazze.
A sua memória perecerá da terra, e pelas praças não terá nome.
他的稱號 從地上消失, 他的名字不在街上存留。
