Job


8:1
 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,


8:2
 How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?


8:3
 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?


8:4
 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;


8:5
 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;


8:6
 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.


8:7
 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.


8:8
 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:


8:9
 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)


8:10
 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?


8:11
 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?


8:12
 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.


8:13
 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:


8:14
 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web.


8:15
 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.


8:16
 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.


8:17
 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.


8:18
 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.


8:19
 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.


8:20
 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:


8:21
 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.


8:22
 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
