Job 8:1-9 ▼

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2 “How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a great wind?

3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert the right?

4 If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.

5 If you will seek God and plead with the Almighty for mercy,

6 if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and restore your rightful habitation.

7 And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.

8 “For inquire, please, of bygone ages, and consider what the fathers have searched out.

9 For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow.
