chapter_Job_8
Job 8:1: And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: &#8212; Job 8:2: Till when dost thou speak these things? And a strong wind &#8212; sayings of thy mouth? Job 8:3: Doth God pervert judgment? And doth the Mighty One pervert justice? Job 8:4: If thy sons have sinned before Him, And He doth send them away, By the hand of their transgression, Job 8:5: If thou dost seek early unto God, And unto the Mighty makest supplication, Job 8:6: If pure and upright thou art, Surely now He waketh for thee, And hath completed The habitation of thy righteousness. Job 8:7: And thy beginning hath been small, And thy latter end is very great. Job 8:8: For, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to a search of their fathers, Job 8:9: (For of yesterday we are, and we know not, For a shadow are our days on earth.) Job 8:10: Do they not shew thee &#8212; speak to thee, And from their heart bring forth words? Job 8:11: 'Doth a rush wise without mire? A reed increase without water? Job 8:12: While it is in its budding &#8212; uncropped, Even before any herb it withereth. Job 8:13: So are the paths of all forgetting God, And the hope of the profane doth perish, Job 8:14: Whose confidence is loathsome, And the house of a spider his trust. Job 8:15: He leaneth on his house &#8212; and it standeth not: He taketh hold on it &#8212; and it abideth not. Job 8:16: Green he is before the sun, And over his garden his branch goeth out. Job 8:17: By a heap his roots are wrapped, A house of stones he looketh for. Job 8:18: If one doth destroy him from his place, Then it hath feigned concerning him, I have not seen thee! Job 8:19: Lo, this is the joy of his way, And from the dust others spring up.' Job 8:20: Lo, God doth not reject the perfect, Nor taketh hold on the hand of evil doers. Job 8:21: While he filleth with laughter thy mouth, And thy lips with shouting, Job 8:22: Those hating thee do put on shame, And the tent of the wicked is not!
