8Job 8

1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,Select Job 8:1

2How long will you speak these things? and how long shall the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?Select Job 8:2

3Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?Select Job 8:3

4If your children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;Select Job 8:4

5If you would seek to God betimes, and make your supplication to the Almighty;Select Job 8:5

6If you were pure and upright; surely now he would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.Select Job 8:6

7Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end should greatly increase.Select Job 8:7

8For inquire, I pray you, of the former age, and prepare yourself to the search of their fathers:Select Job 8:8

9(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow:)Select Job 8:9

10Shall not they teach you, and tell you, and utter words out of their heart?Select Job 8:10

11Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?Select Job 8:11

12Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it wither before any other herb.Select Job 8:12

13So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:Select Job 8:13

14Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web.Select Job 8:14

15He shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.Select Job 8:15

16He is green before the sun, and his branch shoots forth in his garden.Select Job 8:16

17His roots are wrapped about the heap, and sees the place of stones.Select Job 8:17

18If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen you.Select Job 8:18

19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.Select Job 8:19

20Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:Select Job 8:20

21Till he fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing.Select Job 8:21

22They that hate you shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nothing.Select Job 8:22
