Job 8:1-10 ▼

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2 “Until when will you speak these things, and the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

3 Does God pervert judgment? Or does Shaddai pervert justice?

4 If your sons have sinned against Him, then He has sent them into the hand of their transgression.

5 If you seek diligently for God, and ask Shaddai for favor,

6 if you are pure and upright, surely now He will rouse Himself over you and restore the abode of your righteousness.

7 And your beginning was small, and your end will greatly increase.

8 For inquire, please, of the former generation, and consider the finding of their fathers.

9 For we are of yesterday, and we do not know; indeed, our days are a shadow upon the earth.

10 Will they not instruct you and speak to you, and from their heart bring forth words?
