Job 8
Revised Version 1895
1Then answeredH559 BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and saidH559, 2HowH575 longH5704 wilt thou speakH6310 theseH428 things? and howH575 longH5704 shall the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310 be like a mightyH3524 windH7307? 3Doth GodH410 pervertH5791 judgmentH4941? or doth the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 justiceH4941? 4IfH518 thy childrenH1121 have sinnedH2398 againstH2398 him, and he have deliveredH3027 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of their transgressionH6588: 5IfH518 thou wouldest seekH7836 diligentlyH7836 unto GodH410, and make thy supplication to the AlmightyH7706; 6IfH518 thou wert pureH2134 and uprightH3477; surelyH3588 nowH6258 he would awakeH5782 for thee, and makeH3588 the habitation of thy righteousnessH6664 prosperous. 7And though thy beginningH7225 was smallH4705, yet thy latterH319 endH319 should greatlyH3966 increaseH7685. 8For inquireH7592, I prayH4994 thee, of the formerH7223 age, and apply thyself to that which their fathersH1 have searchedH2714 outH3559: 9(For weH587 are but of yesterdayH8543, and knowH3045 nothingH3808, becauseH3588 our daysH3117 uponH5921 earthH776 are a shadowH6738:) 10Shall notH3808 they teachH3384 thee, and tellH559 thee, and utter wordsH4405 outH3318 of their heartH3820? 11CanH3808 the rush growH7685 upH1342 withoutH3808 mire? canH3808 the flag growH7685 withoutH3808 waterH4325? 12Whilst it is yet in itsH3605 greenness, and notH3808 cutH6998 downH6440, it withereth beforeH6440 anyH3605 otherH5750 herb. 13SoH3651 are the pathsH734 of allH3605 that forgetH7911 GodH410; and the hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611 manH3605 shall perishH6: 14WhoseH834 confidenceH4009 shall break in sunder, and whoseH834 trustH4009 is a spider’sH5908 webH1004. 15He shall leanH8172 uponH5921 his houseH1004, but it shall notH3808 standH5975: he shall holdH2388 fastH2388 thereby, but it shall notH3808 endureH5975. 16He is green beforeH6440 the sunH8121, and his shootsH3127 goH3318 forthH3318 over his gardenH1593. 17His rootsH8328 are wrapped aboutH5921 the heapH1530, he beholdeth the placeH1004 of stonesH68. 18IfH518 he be destroyedH1104 from his placeH4725, then it shall denyH3584 him, saying, I have notH3808 seenH7200 thee. 19BeholdH2005, this is the joyH4885 of his wayH1870, and out of the earthH6083 shall othersH312 springH6779. 20BeholdH2005, GodH410 will notH3808 cast away a perfectH8535 manH8535, neitherH3808 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 noH369 moreH369.
