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

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

3Doth God peruert iudgement? or doth the Almightie peruert iustice?Select Job 8:3

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

5If thou wouldest seeke vnto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almightie:Select Job 8:5

6If thou wert pure and vpright, surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousnes 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 thy selfe to the search of their fathers.Select Job 8:8

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

10Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, & vtter words out of their heart?Select Job 8:10

11Can the rush growe vp without myre? can the flag growe without water?Select Job 8:11

12Whilest it is yet in his greennesse, and not cut downe, it withereth before any other herbe.Select Job 8:12

13So are the paths of all that forget God, and the hypocrites hope shall perish:Select Job 8:13

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

18If he destroy him from his place, then it shal denie him, saying, I haue not seene thee.Select Job 8:18

19Beholde, this is the ioy 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 hee helpe the euill doers:Select Job 8:20

21Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with reioycing.Select Job 8:21

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