Chapter 8

1


 

  And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,  

 

 

--

2


 

  How long wilt thou speak these things? and the words of thy mouth be a strong wind?  

 

 

--

3


 

  Doth łGod pervert judgment, and the Almighty pervert justice?  

 

 

--

4


 

  If thy children have sinned against him, he hath also given them over into the hand of their transgression.  

 

 

--

5


 

  If thou seek earnestly unto łGod, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,  

 

 

--

6


 

  If thou be pure and upright, surely now he will awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous;  

 

 

--

7


 

  And though thy beginning was small, yet thine end shall be very great.  

 

 

--

8


 

  For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and attend to the researches of their fathers;  

 

 

--

9


 

  For we are [but] of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days upon earth are a shadow.  

 

 

--

10


 

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

 

 

--

11


 

  Doth the papyrus shoot up without mire? doth the reed-grass grow without water?  

 

 

--

12


 

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

 

 

--

13


 

  So are the paths of all that forget łGod; and the profane man's hope shall perish,  

 

 

--

14


 

  Whose confidence shall be cut off, and his reliance is a spider's web.  

 

 

--

15


 

  He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand; he shall lay hold on it, but it shall not endure.  

 

 

--

16


 

  He is full of sap before the sun, and his sprout shooteth forth over his garden;  

 

 

--

17


 

  His roots are entwined about the stoneheap; he seeth the place of stones.  

 

 

--

18


 

  If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him: I have not seen thee!  

 

 

--

19


 

  Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust shall others grow.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Behold, łGod will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Whilst he would fill thy mouth with laughing and thy lips with shouting,  

 

 

--

22


 

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