vw@Job:8:1 @ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
vw@Job:8:2 @ How long will you speak these things, and the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
vw@Job:8:3 @ Does the Mighty God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
vw@Job:8:4 @ If your sons have sinned against Him, He has cast them away for their transgression.
vw@Job:8:5 @ If you would earnestly seek the Mighty God and make your supplication to the Almighty,
vw@Job:8:6 @ if you were pure and upright, surely now He would awake for you, and would have restored your righteous abode.
vw@Job:8:7 @ Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
vw@Job:8:8 @ For inquire now of the former generation, and prepare to search the fathers;
vw@Job:8:9 @ for we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.
vw@Job:8:10 @ Shall they not teach you and tell you, and utter words from their heart?
vw@Job:8:11 @ Can the rush grow up without a marsh? Can the reeds grow without water?
vw@Job:8:12 @ While it is yet green and not cut down, it dries up before any other plant.
vw@Job:8:13 @ So are the paths of all who forget the Mighty God; and the hope of the ungodly shall perish,
vw@Job:8:14 @ whose confidence shall be cut off, and whose trust as a spiders house.
vw@Job:8:15 @ He leans on his house, but it does not stand. He holds it fast, but it does not endure.
vw@Job:8:16 @ He is moist before the sun, and his shoots spread out in his garden.
vw@Job:8:17 @ His roots are wrapped around a heap; he sees a house of stones.
vw@Job:8:18 @ If he is swallowed up from his place, then it will deny him, saying, I have not seen you.
vw@Job:8:19 @ Behold, this is the joy of His way, and out of the earth others shall grow.
vw@Job:8:20 @ Behold, the Mighty God will not cast away the perfect, nor will His hand support evildoers.
vw@Job:8:21 @ He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with rejoicing.
vw@Job:8:22 @ Those who hate you shall be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will come to nothing.
