Job 8:1-9 ▼

1 Then in response, Bildad from Shuah said:

2 |How long will you keep talking like this? How long will you keep talking like a wind storm?

3 Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what's right?

4 |If your children sin against him, he'll make them a prisoner of their sins.

5 If you seek God, if you ask the Almighty for mercy,

6 if you are clean and upright, surely then, he'll act on your behalf and restore your rightful place.

7 Your beginning may be small, but later years will be very great.

8 |Inquire of the previous generation, won't you please? Consider what their forefathers searched out.

9 Because we are of yesterday and we know nothing, for our time on earth is only a shadow.
