Job 8
lesserot@Job:8:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,
lesserot@Job:8:2 @ How long wilt thou speak these things? and like a mighty wind be the words of thy mouth?
lesserot@Job:8:3 @ Should God pervert justice? or should the Almighty pervert righteousness?
lesserot@Job:8:4 @ If thy children have sinned against him, then did he send them off through the means of their transgression.
lesserot@Job:8:5 @ If thou wilt earnestly seek for God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
lesserot@Job:8:6 @ If thou become pure and upright: surely then will he watch over thee, and restore thy righteous habitation.
lesserot@Job:8:7 @ And thy beginning will have been small; because thy latter end will grow up greatly.
lesserot@Job:8:8 @ For ask, I pray thee, of an earlier generation, and prepare thyself to the research of their fathers;
lesserot@Job:8:9 @ For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because a shadow are our days upon earth;
lesserot@Job:8:10 @ Behold, these will truly teach thee, they will speak unto thee, and out of their very heart will they bring forth words:
lesserot@Job:8:11 @ Can the bulrush shoot upward without mire? can the meadowgrass grow up without water?
lesserot@Job:8:12 @ It is yet in its greenness, not yet cut down, when it withereth before any other grass.
lesserot@Job:8:13 @ So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hope of the hypocrite will perish:
lesserot@Job:8:14 @ whose trust will be cut off, and but a spiders web is that in which he confideth.
lesserot@Job:8:15 @ He leaneth against his house, but it shall not stand: he layeth fast hold on it, but it shall not remain erect.
lesserot@Job:8:16 @ He is in full vigor before the sun, and over his garden his shoots go forth.
lesserot@Job:8:17 @ His roots are twisted about a stoneheap, he selecteth a place of stones.
lesserot@Job:8:18 @ But when men destroy him from his place, then will it deny him, saying, I have never seen thee.
lesserot@Job:8:19 @ Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust others will grow up.
lesserot@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not reject a perfect man, and will not hold fast by their hand the evildoers:
lesserot@Job:8:21 @ Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with joyful shouting.
lesserot@Job:8:22 @ They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
