Job Chapter 8 / ASV

American Standard Version
Job, Chapter 8

   1: Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
   2: How long wilt thou speak these things? And [how long] shall the words of thy mouth be [like] a mighty wind?
   3: Doth God pervert justice? Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?
   4: If thy children have sinned against him, And he hath delivered them into the hand of their transgression;
   5: If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;
   6: If thou wert pure and upright: Surely now he would awake for thee, And make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
   7: And though thy beginning was small, Yet thy latter end would greatly increase.
   8: For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out:
   9: (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);
   10: Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, And utter words out of their heart?
   11: Can the rush grow up without mire? Can the flag grow without water?
   12: Whilst it is yet in its greenness, [and] not cut down, It withereth before any [other] herb.
   13: So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:
   14: Whose confidence shall break in sunder, And whose trust is a spider's web.
   15: He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.
   16: He is green before the sun, And his shoots go forth over his garden.
   17: His roots are wrapped about the [stone] -heap, He beholdeth the place of stones.
   18: If he be destroyed from his place, Then it shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen thee.
   19: Behold, this is the joy of his way; And out of the earth shall others spring.
   20: Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.
   21: He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter, And thy lips with shouting.
   22: They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
