nkjv@Job:8:1 @ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

nkjv@Job:8:2 @ "How long will you speak these things, And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

nkjv@Job:8:3 @ Does God subvert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert justice?

nkjv@Job:8:4 @ If your sons have sinned against Him, He has cast them away for their transgression.

nkjv@Job:8:5 @ If you would earnestly seek God And make your supplication to the Almighty,

nkjv@Job:8:6 @ If you were pure and upright, Surely now He would awake for you, And prosper your rightful dwelling place.

nkjv@Job:8:7 @ Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

nkjv@Job:8:8 @ "For inquire, please, of the former age, And consider the things discovered by their fathers;

nkjv@Job:8:9 @ For we were born yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days on earth are a shadow.

nkjv@Job:8:10 @ Will they not teach you and tell you, And utter words from their heart?

nkjv@Job:8:11 @ "Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the reeds flourish without water?

nkjv@Job:8:12 @ While it is yet green and not cut down, It withers before any other plant.

nkjv@Job:8:13 @ So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,

nkjv@Job:8:14 @ Whose confidence shall be cut off, And whose trust is a spider's web.

nkjv@Job:8:15 @ He leans on his house, but it does not stand. He holds it fast, but it does not endure.

nkjv@Job:8:16 @ He grows green in the sun, And his branches spread out in his garden.

nkjv@Job:8:17 @ His roots wrap around the rock heap, And look for a place in the stones.

nkjv@Job:8:18 @ If he is destroyed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, "I have not seen you.'

nkjv@Job:8:19 @ "Behold, this is the joy of His way, And out of the earth others will grow.

nkjv@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not cast away the blameless, Nor will He uphold the evildoers.

nkjv@Job:8:21 @ He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, And your lips with rejoicing.

nkjv@Job:8:22 @ Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing."
