Bildad Speaks: Job Should Repent

8Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:H6030H1085H7747H559 2"How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a great wind?H575H5704H4448H561H6310H3524H7307 3Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert the right?H410H5791H4941H7706H5791H6664 4If your children sinned against him, he delivered them into the power of their transgression.H1121H2398H7971H3027H6588 5If you will seek God and make supplication to the Almighty,H7836H410H7836H2603H7706 6if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and restore to you your rightful place.H2134H3477H5782H5116H6664H7999 7Though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.H7225H4705H319H3966H7685 8"For inquire now of bygone generations, and consider what their ancestors have found;H7592H7223H7223H1755H3559H2714H1 9for we are but of yesterday, and we know nothing, for our days on earth are but a shadow.H8543H3045H3117H776H6738 10Will they not teach you and tell you and utter words out of their understanding?H3384H559H3318H4405H3820 11"Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Can reeds flourish where there is no water?H1573H1342H1207H7685H260H7685H1097H4325 12While yet in flower and not cut down, they wither before any other plant.H3H6998H3001H6440H2682 13Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless shall perish.H734H7911H410H2611H8615H6 14Their confidence is gossamer, a spider's house their trust.H3689H6990H4009H5908H1004 15If one leans against its house, it will not stand; if one lays hold of it, it will not endure.H8172H1004H5975H2388H6965 16The wicked thrive before the sun, and their shoots spread over the garden.H7373H6440H8121H3127H3318H1593 17Their roots twine around the stoneheap; they live among the rocks.H8328H5440H1530H2372H1004H68 18If they are destroyed from their place, then it will deny them, saying, 'I have never seen you.'H1104H4725H3584H7200 19See, these are their happy ways, and out of the earth still others will spring.H4885H1870H6083H312H6779 20"See, God will not reject a blameless person, nor take the hand of evildoers.H410H3988H8535H2388H3027H7489 21He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouts of joy.H4390H6310H7814H8193H8643 22Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more."H8130H3847H1322H168H7563H369
