Chapter 8

1


 

  The Baldad the Suhite answered, 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 overthrow that which is just?  

 

 

--

4


 

  Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity:  

 

 

--

5


 

  Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:  

 

 

--

6


 

  If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake onto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable:  

 

 

--

7


 

  Insomuch, that if thy former things were small, thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly.  

 

 

--

8


 

  For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers:  

 

 

--

9


 

  (For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow:)  

 

 

--

10


 

  And they shall teach thee: they shall speak to thee, and utter words out of their hearts.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Can the rush be green without moisture? or a sedge-bush grow without water?  

 

 

--

12


 

  When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish:  

 

 

--

14


 

  His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider's web.  

 

 

--

15


 

  He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise:  

 

 

--

16


 

  He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh, and at his rising his blossom shall shoot forth.  

 

 

--

17


 

  His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones, and among the stones he shall abide.  

 

 

--

18


 

  If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not.  

 

 

--

19


 

  For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth.  

 

 

--

20


 

  God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the evildoer:  

 

 

--

21


 

  Until thy mouth be filled with laughter, and thy lips with rejoicing.  

 

 

--

22


 

  They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the dwelling of the wicked shall not stand.  

 

 

--
