8THEN ANSWERED Bildad the Shuhite,H6030H1085H7747H5592How long will you say these things [Job]? And how long shall the words of your mouth be as a mighty wind?H575H5704H4448H561H6310H3524H73073Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?H410H5791H4941H7706H5791H66644If your children have sinned against Him, then He has delivered them into the power of their transgression.H1121H2398H7971H3027H65885If you will seek God diligently and make your supplication to the Almighty,H7836H410H7836H2603H77066Then, if you are pure and upright, surely He will bestir Himself for you and make your righteous dwelling prosperous again.H2134H3477H5782H5116H6664H79997And though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.H7225H4705H319H3966H76858For inquire, I pray you, of the former age and apply yourself to that which their fathers have searched out,H7592H7223H7223H1755H3559H2714H19For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow.H8543H3045H3117H776H673810Shall not [the forefathers] teach you and tell you and utter words out of their hearts (the deepest part of their nature)?H3384H559H3318H4405H382011Can the rush {or} papyrus grow up without marsh? Can the flag {or} reed grass grow without water?H1573H1342H1207H7685H260H7685H1097H432512While it is yet green, in flower, and not cut down, it withers before any other herb [when without water].H3H6998H3001H6440H268213So are the ways of all who forget God; and the hope of the godless shall perish.H734H7911H410H2611H8615H614For his confidence breaks, and [the object of] his trust is a spider's web.H3689H6990H4009H5908H100415He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand; he shall hold fast to it, but it shall not last.H8172H1004H5975H2388H696516He is green before the sun, and his shoots go forth over his garden.H7373H6440H8121H3127H3318H159317[Godless] his roots are wrapped about the [stone] heap, and see their way [promisingly] among the rocks.H8328H5440H1530H2372H1004H6818But if [God] snatches him from his property, [then having passed into the hands of others] it [his property] will forget {and} deny him, [saying,] I have never seen you [before, as if ashamed of him--like his former friends].H1104H4725H3584H720019See, this is the joy of going the way [of the ungodly]! And from the dust others will spring up [to take his place].H4885H1870H6083H312H677920Behold, as surely as God will never uphold wrongdoers, He will never cast away a blameless man.H410H3988H8535H2388H3027H748921He will yet fill your mouth with laughter [Job] and your lips with joyful shouting.H4390H6310H7814H8193H864322Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tents of the wicked shall be no more.H8130H3847H1322H168H7563H369
