Job 8:1-9 ▼

1 The Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:

2 How long wilt thou speak these things, and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

3 Doth God pervert judgment, or doth the Almighty overthrow that which is just?

4 Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity:

5 Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:

6 If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake onto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable:

7 Insomuch, that if thy former things were small, thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly.

8 For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers:

9 (For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow:)
