Bildad: Job Should Repent
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 8
|
|
1. Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
|
|
|
|
2. "How long will you speak these things,
|
|
And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
|
|
|
|
3. Does God subvert judgment?
|
|
Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
|
|
|
|
4. If your sons have sinned against Him,
|
|
He has cast them away for their transgression.
|
|
|
|
5. If you would earnestly seek God
|
|
And make your supplication to the Almighty,
|
|
|
|
6. If you were pure and upright,
|
|
Surely now He would awake for you,
|
|
And prosper your rightful dwelling place.
|
|
|
|
7. Though your beginning was small,
|
|
Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
|
|
|
|
8. "For inquire, please, of the former age,
|
|
And consider the things discovered by their fathers;
|
|
|
|
9. For we were born yesterday, and know nothing,
|
|
Because our days on earth are a shadow.
|
|
|
|
10. Will they not teach you and tell you,
|
|
And utter words from their heart?
|
|
|
|
11. "Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
|
|
Can the reeds flourish without water?
|
|
|
|
12. While it is yet green and not cut down,
|
|
It withers before any other plant.
|
|
|
|
13. So are the paths of all who forget God;
|
|
And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,
|
|
|
|
14. Whose confidence shall be cut off,
|
|
And whose trust is a spider's web.
|
|
|
|
15. He leans on his house, but it does not stand.
|
|
He holds it fast, but it does not endure.
|
|
|
|
16. He grows green in the sun,
|
|
And his branches spread out in his garden.
|
|
|
|
17. His roots wrap around the rock heap,
|
|
And look for a place in the stones.
|
|
|
|
18. If he is destroyed from his place,
|
|
Then it will deny him, saying, 'I have not seen you.'
|
|
|
|
19. "Behold, this is the joy of His way,
|
|
And out of the earth others will grow.
|
|
|
|
20. Behold, God will not cast away the blameless,
|
|
Nor will He uphold the evildoers.
|
|
|
|
21. He will yet fill your mouth with laughing,
|
|
And your lips with rejoicing.
|
|
|
|
22. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,
|
|
And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing."
