Job:8

Seeker Overlay ON

* Then answered Bildad the Shuhite , and said , * How long will you speak these things ? and how long shall the words of your mouth be like a strong wind ? * Does God pervert judgment ? or does the Almighty pervert justice ? * If your children have sinned against him , and he have cast them away for their transgression ; * If you would seek to God betimes , and make your supplication to the Almighty ; * If you were pure and upright ; surely now he would awake for you , and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous . * Though your beginning was small , yet your latter end should greatly increase . * For inquire , I pray you , of the former age , and prepare yourself to the search of their fathers : * (For we are but of yesterday , and know nothing , because our days on earth are a shadow :) * Shall not they teach you , and tell you , and utter words out of their heart ? * Can the rush grow up without mire ? can the flag grow without water ? * Whilst it is yet in his greenness , and not cut down , it wither before any other herb . * So are the paths of all that forget God ; and the hypocrite ' hope shall perish : * Whose hope shall be cut off , and whose trust shall be a spider ' web . * He shall lean on his house , but it shall not stand : he shall hold it fast , but it shall not endure . * He is green before the sun , and his branch shoots forth in his garden . * His roots are wrapped about the heap , and sees the place of stones . * If he destroy him from his place , then it shall deny him , saying , I have not seen you . * Behold , this is the joy of his way , and out of the earth shall others grow . * Behold , God will not cast away a perfect man , neither will he help the evil doers : * Till he fill your mouth with laughing , and your lips with rejoicing . * They that hate you shall be clothed with shame ; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nothing .
