Job 8:1-9 ▼

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,

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

3 “Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?

4 “If your sons sinned against Him, Then He turned them over to the power of their wrongdoing.

5 “If you will search for God And implore the compassion of the Almighty,

6 If you are pure and upright, Surely now He will stir Himself for you And restore your righteous estate.

7 “Though your beginning was insignificant, Yet your end will increase greatly.

8 “Please inquire of past generations, And consider the things searched out by their fathers.

9 “For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are as a shadow.
