Chapter 8 | |
1 | Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, 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 pervert justice? |
4 | If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; |
5 | If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; |
6 | If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. |
7 | Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. |
8 | For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: |
9 | (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:) |
10 | Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? |
11 |
Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water? |
12 | Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb. |
13 | So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: |
14 | Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web. |
15 |
He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. |
16 | He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. |
17 | His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones. |
18 | If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee. |
19 | Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. |
20 |
Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers: |
21 | Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. |
22 | They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. |
