Chapter 8

1


 

  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,  

 

 

-

2


 

  How long wilt thou speak these things? And [how long] shall the words of thy mouth be [like] a mighty wind?  

 

 

-

3


 

  Doth God pervert justice? Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?  

 

 

-

4


 

  If thy children have sinned against him, And he hath delivered them into the hand of their transgression;  

 

 

-

5


 

  If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;  

 

 

-

6


 

  If thou wert pure and upright: Surely now he would awake for thee, And make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.  

 

 

-

7


 

  And though thy beginning was small, Yet thy latter end would greatly increase.  

 

 

-

8


 

  For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out:  

 

 

-

9


 

  (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);  

 

 

-

10


 

  Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, And utter words out of their heart?  

 

 

-

11


 

  Can the rush grow up without mire? Can the flag grow without water?  

 

 

-

12


 

  Whilst it is yet in its greenness, [and] not cut down, It withereth before any [other] herb.  

 

 

-

13


 

  So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:  

 

 

-

14


 

  Whose confidence shall break in sunder, And whose trust is a spider's web.  

 

 

-

15


 

  He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.  

 

 

-

16


 

  He is green before the sun, And his shoots go forth over his garden.  

 

 

-

17


 

  His roots are wrapped about the [stone] -heap, He beholdeth the place of stones.  

 

 

-

18


 

  If he be destroyed from his place, Then it shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen thee.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Behold, this is the joy of his way; And out of the earth shall others spring.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.  

 

 

-

21


 

  He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter, And thy lips with shouting.  

 

 

-

22


 

  They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
