Job 8:1-9 ▼

1 THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 How long will you speak these things? And how long will your mouth utter proud words?

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

4 If your children have sinned against him, he has sent them away in their transgressions.

5 If you would seek God and make supplication to the Almighty,

6 If you were innocent and upright, surely then he would be attentive to you, and would make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous,

7 So that though your beginning was small he would make your end very great.

9 For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are like a shadow;
