# this is the "joy" of such a person's behavior

Bildad is speaking with irony to express that there is not any real joy for the godless person. AT: "this is all the joy they will receive from their godless actions" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]])

# other plants will sprout out of the same soil in his place

Bildad continues the metaphor from [Job 08:16-18](./16.md). Other godless people are spoken of as plants who take the place of the first godless man when he dies. AT: "when one wicked man dies, another will take his place" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# sprout

"grow"
