Iob 8

¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

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

³Doth God peruert iudgement? or doth the Almightie peruert iustice?

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

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

⁶If thou wert pure and vpright, surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousnes prosperous.

⁷Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

⁸For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy selfe to the search of their fathers.

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

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

¹¹Can the rush growe vp without myre? can the flag growe without water?

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

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

¹⁴Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spiders web.

¹⁵He shall leane vpon his house, but it shall not stand: he shal hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

¹⁶He is greene before the sunne, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.

¹⁷His roots are wrapped about the heape, and seeth the place of stones.

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

¹⁹Beholde, this is the ioy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.

²⁰Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will hee helpe the euill doers:

²¹Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with reioycing.

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