8Job 8

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

2How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?Select Job 8:2

3Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?Select Job 8:3

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

5If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;Select Job 8:5

6If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.Select Job 8:6

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

8For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:Select Job 8:8

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

10Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, 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 withereth 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 upon 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 shooteth forth in his garden.Select Job 8:16

17His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth 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 thee.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 thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.Select Job 8:21

22They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.Select Job 8:22
