Job 8:1-9 ▼

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:

2 “Until when do you speak these things? And a strong wind—sayings of your mouth?

3 Does God pervert judgment? And does the Mighty One pervert justice?

4 If your sons have sinned before Him, || And He sends them away, || By the hand of their transgression,

5 If you seek for God early, || And make supplication to the Mighty,

6 If you [are] pure and upright, || Surely now He wakes for you, || And has completed || The habitation of your righteousness.

7 And your beginning has been small, || And your latter end is very great.

8 For inquire, please, of a former generation, || And prepare for a search of their fathers,

9 For we [are] of yesterday, and we do not know, || For our days [are] a shadow on earth.
