Job:8

Seeker Overlay ON

* Then answered Bildad the Shuhite , and said , * How long wilt thou speak these things ? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind ? * Doth God pervert judgment ? or doth the Almighty pervert justice ? * If thy children have sinned against him , and he have cast them away for their transgression ; * If thou wouldest seek # unto God betimes , and make thy supplication to the Almighty ; * If thou wert pure and upright ; surely now he would awake for thee , and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous . * Though thy beginning was small mits #ar #, yet thy latter end should greatly increase . * For enquire , I pray thee , of the former ri # age , and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers : * (For we are but of yesterday , and know nothing , because our days upon earth are a shadow : ) * Shall not they teach thee , and tell thee , 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 withereth before any other herb . * So are the paths of all that forget God ; and the hypocrites hope shall perish : * Whose hope shall be cut off , and whose trust shall be a spiders web . * He shall lean upon 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 shooteth forth in his garden . * His roots are wrapped about the heap , and seeth the place of stones . * If he destroy him from his place , then it shall deny him , saying , I have not seen thee . * 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 thy mouth with laughing , and thy lips with rejoicing t @ruw #ah #. * They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame ; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought .
