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 strong wind?  

 

 

-

3


 

  Doth God pervert judgment; or doth the Almighty pervert justice?  

 

 

-

4


 

  If thy children have sinned against him, and he hath cast them away for their transgression;  

 

 

-

5


 

  If thou wouldst seek to God betimes, 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


 

  Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end would greatly increase.  

 

 

-

8


 

  For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:  

 

 

-

9


 

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

 

 

-

10


 

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

 

 

-

11


 

  Can the rush grow 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 hypocrite's hope shall perish:  

 

 

-

14


 

  Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.  

 

 

-

15


 

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

 

 

-

16


 

  He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.  

 

 

-

17


 

  His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.  

 

 

-

18


 

  If he shall destroy him 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 grow.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:  

 

 

-

21


 

  Till he shall fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.  

 

 

-

22


 

  They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to naught.
