Job 8:1-9 ▼

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

2 How long wilt thou speak these things, Seeing that the words of thy mouth are as a mighty wind?

3 Doth God pervert judgment? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

4 If thy children sinned against Him, He delivered them into the hand of their transgression.

5 If thou wouldest seek earnestly unto God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;

6 If thou wert pure and upright; Surely now He would awake for thee, And make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

7 And though thy beginning was small, Yet thy end should greatly increase.

8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out--

9 For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow--
