Job 8
Big screen- 1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
- 2How long will you speak these things? and how long shall the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
- 3Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?
- 4If your children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
- 5If you would seek unto God early, and make your supplication to the Almighty;
- 6If you were pure and upright; surely now he would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
- 7Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end should greatly increase.
- 8For enquire, I pray you, of the former age, and prepare yourself to the search of their fathers:
- 9(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
- 10Shall not they teach you, and tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
- 11Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
- 12Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withers before any other herb.
- 13So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
- 14Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
- 15He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
- 16He is green before the sun, and his branch shoots forth in his garden.
- 17His roots are wrapped about the heap, and sees the place of stones.
- 18If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen you.
- 19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
- 20Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
- 21Till he fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing.
- 22They that hate you shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nothing.
