Job 8

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Compare verse
2 How long will you speak these things? and how long shall the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
Compare verse
3 Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?
Compare verse
4 If your children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
Compare verse
5 If you would seek to God betimes, and make your supplication to the Almighty;
Compare verse
6 If you were pure and upright; surely now he would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
Compare verse
7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end should greatly increase.
Compare verse
8 For inquire, I pray you, of the former age, and prepare yourself to the search of their fathers:
Compare verse
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow:)
Compare verse
10 Shall not they teach you, and tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
Compare verse
11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
Compare verse
12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it wither before any other herb.

13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
Compare verse
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
Compare verse
15 He shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shoots forth in his garden.
Compare verse
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and sees the place of stones.
Compare verse
18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen you.
Compare verse
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
Compare verse
20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
Compare verse
21 Till he fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing.
Compare verse
22 They that hate you shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nothing.
