Job 8
American Standard Version
1Then answered BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and saidH559,
2How long wilt thou speak these thingsH428?Andhow longshall the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310 be like a mightyH3524 windH7307?3Doth GodH410 pervertH5791 justiceH4941?Or doth the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 righteousnessH6664?4If thy children have sinnedH2398 against him,And he hath delivered them into the handH3027 of their transgressionH6588;5If thou wouldest seekH7836 diligently unto GodH410,And make thy supplication to the AlmightyH7706;6If thou wert pureH2134 and uprightH3477:Surely nowH6258 he would awakeH5782 for thee,And make the habitation of thy righteousnessH6664 prosperous.7And though thy beginning wasH1961 smallH4705,Yet thy latterH319 endH319 would greatly increase.8For inquire, I pray thee, of the formerH7223 age,And apply thyself to that which their fathersH1 have searchedH2714 out9(For we are but of yesterdayH8543, and knowH3045 nothing,Because our daysH3117 upon earthH776 are a shadowH6738);10Shall not they teachH3384 thee, and tell thee,And utter wordsH4405 out of their heartH3820?11Can the rush growH7685 up without mire?Can the flag growH7685 without waterH4325?12Whilst it is yetH5750 in its greenness, and not cut down,It withereth before any other herb.13SoH3651 are the pathsH734 of all that forgetH7911 GodH410;And the hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611 man shall perishH6:14Whose confidenceH4009 shall break in sunder,And whose trustH4009 is a spider’sH5908 web.15He shall leanH8172 upon his houseH1004, but it shall not standH5975:He shall holdH2388 fast thereby, but it shall not endure.16He is green before the sunH8121,And his shootsH3127 goH3318 forthH3318 over his gardenH1593.17His rootsH8328 are wrapped about the stoneH68-heap,He beholdeth the place of stonesH68.18If he be destroyed from his placeH4725,Then it shall denyH3584 him, saying, I have not seenH7200 thee.19Behold, this is the joyH4885 of his wayH1870;And out of the earthH6083 shall othersH312 springH6779.20Behold, GodH410 will not cast away a perfectH8535 man,Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.21He will yet fillH4390 thy mouthH6310 with laughterH7814,And thy lipsH8193 with shoutingH8643.22They that hateH8130 thee shall be clothedH3847 with shameH1322;And the tentH168 of the wickedH7563 shall be no more.
