Job 8 (TRV)
From Textus Receptus
- 1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
- 2 “How long will you speak these things? And how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
- 3 Does God pervert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
- 4 If your children have sinned against Him, and He has cast them away because of their transgression;
- 5 if you would earnestly seek God, and make your supplication to the Almighty,
- 6 if you were pure and upright, surely Now He would awake for you, and make the dwelling place of your righteousness blessed.
- 7 Although your beginning may be small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
- 8 “I advise you to ask about the former age, and prepare yourself toward the search of their fathers:
- 9 (because we were born yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow:)
- 10 Will they not teach you and tell you, and speak words from their heart?
- 11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the reeds grow without water?
- 12 While it is still green and not cut down, it withers before any other plant.
- 13 So are the paths of all who forget God; and the hope of the hypocrite will perish,
- 14 whose hope will be cut off, and whose trust is a spider’s web.
- 15 He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will hold it tight, but it will not endure.
- 16 He grows green in the sun, and his branch spread out in his garden.
- 17 His roots are wrapped around a pile, and he seeks the place of stones.
- 18 If He destroy him from his place, then it will reject him, saying, “I have not seen you.’
- 19 “Behold, this is the joy of His way, and out of the earth others will grow.
- 20 Behold, God will not cast away an innocent man, nor will he help the evildoers.
- 21 Until He fills your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing.
- 22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the place of the wicked will come to nothing.”
