3. |Bildad's rebuttal — 8:1-22
Job|8:1|-|Then Bildad the Shuhite |1|answered and said,
Job|8:2|-|How long will you speak these things?And how long will the words of your mouth be like a mighty wind?Job|8:3|-|Does God pervert |a|justice?Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?Job|8:4|-|If your |a|children have sinned against Him,He has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.Job|8:5|-|If you seek earnestly after GodAnd make supplication unto the Almighty,Job|8:6|-|If you are pure and upright,Then surely He will rouse Himself for youAnd restore well-being to your righteous habitation.
Job|8:7|-|And though your beginning was small,Your end will be very great.Job|8:8|-|For inquire now of the former generation,And attend to what their fathers have sought out.Job|8:9|-|For we are of yesterday and know nothing,Because our days upon the earth are a |a|shadow.Job|8:10|-|Will they not teach you and talk to youAnd utter forth words from their heart?Job|8:11|-|Can papyrus shoot up without marsh?Can reeds grow without water?Job|8:12|-|While it is still in its greenness and not cut down,It |a|withers before all other grasses.Job|8:13|-|So are the paths of all who forget God;And the hope of the profane perishes,Job|8:14|-|Whose confidence is cut off,And whose trust is a spider’s web.Job|8:15|-|He leans upon his house, but it will not stand;He holds fast to it, but it will not endure.Job|8:16|-|He is full of sap before the sun,And his shoots go forth over his garden.Job|8:17|-|His roots are entwined around a stone heap;He looks upon a place of stones.Job|8:18|-|If |1|one destroys him from his place,Then it denies him, saying, I have not seen you.Job|8:19|-|Indeed, that is the joy of his way;And others spring forth out of the dust.Job|8:20|-|Indeed, God will not reject a perfect man,Nor will He support evildoers.Job|8:21|-|He will yet fill your mouth with laughterAnd your lips with shouting.Job|8:22|-|Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,And the tent of the wicked will be no more.
