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