Job 8:1-9 ▼

1 Then aunswered Bildad the Suhite, & said:

2 Howe long wilt thou talke of such thinges? howe long shall the wordes of thy mouth be as a mightie wind?

3 Doth God paruert the thing that is lawfull? or doth the almightie destroy the thing that is right?

4 For seyng that thy sonnes sinned against him, did not he send them into the place of their iniquitie?

5 If thou wouldest nowe resorte vnto God be times, and make thy prayer to the almightie,

6 If thou wouldest liue a pure and godly life: shoulde he not awake vp vnto thee immediatly, and make the habitation of thy righteousnesse prosperous?

7 In so much that wherin so euer thou haddest litle afore, thou shouldest haue nowe great aboundaunce.

8 Enquire I pray thee of the former age, and search diligently among their fathers:

9 (For we are but of yesterday, and consider not that our dayes vpon earth are but a shadowe.)
