Then answeredH6030 BildadH1085 the Shuhite,H7747 and said,H559
2
HowH5704 longH5704 will you speakH4448 theseH428 things? and how long shall the wordsH561 of your mouthH6310 be like a strongH3524 wind?H7307
3
Does GodH410 pervertH5791 judgment?H4941 or does the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 justice?H6664
4
IfH518 your childrenH1121 have sinnedH2398 against him, and he have castH7971 them away for their transgression;H6588
5
IfH518 you would seekH7836 to GodH410 betimes,H7836 and make your supplicationH2603 to the Almighty;H7706
6
IfH518 you were pureH2134 and upright;H3477 surelyH3588 nowH6258 he would awakeH5782 for you, and make the habitationH5116 of your righteousnessH6664 prosperous.H7999
7
Though your beginningH7225 was small,H4705 yet your latterH319 end should greatlyH3966 increase.H7685
8
For inquire,H7592 I prayH4994 you, of the formerH7223 age,H1755 and prepareH3559 yourself to the searchH2714 of their fathers:H1
9
(For we are but of yesterday,H8543 and knowH3045 nothing,H3808 becauseH3588 our daysH3117 on earthH776 are a shadow:H6738)
10
Shall not they teachH3384 you, and tellH559 you, and utterH3318 wordsH4405 out of their heart?H3820
11
Can the rushH1573 growH1342 up withoutH3808 mire?H1207 can the flagH260 growH1342 withoutH1097 water?H4325
12
Whilst it is yetH5750 in his greenness,H3 and not cutH6998 down, it witherH3001 beforeH6440 anyH3605 other herb.H2682
13
SoH3651 are the pathsH734 of allH3605 that forgetH7911 God;H410 and the hypocrite'sH2611 hopeH8615 shall perish:H6
14
WhoseH834 hopeH3689 shall be cutH6990 off, and whose trustH4009 shall be a spider'sH5908 web.H1004
15
He shall leanH8172 on his house,H1004 but it shall not stand:H5975 he shall holdH2388 it fast, but it shall not endure.H6965
16
He is greenH7373 beforeH6440 the sun,H8121 and his branchH3127 shootsH3318 forthH3318 in his garden.H1593
17
His rootsH8328 are wrappedH5440 aboutH5440 the heap,H1530 and seesH2372 the placeH1004 of stones.H68
18
IfH518 he destroyH1104 him from his place,H4725 then it shall denyH3584 him, saying, I have not seenH7200 you.
19
Behold,H2005 thisH1931 is the joyH4885 of his way,H1870 and out of the earthH6083 shall othersH312 grow.H6779
20
Behold,H2005 GodH410 will not castH3988 away a perfectH8535 man, neitherH3808 will he helpH2388 the evilH7489 doers:
21
TillH5704 he fillH4390 your mouthH6310 with laughing,H7814 and your lipsH8193 with rejoicing.H8643
22
They that hateH8130 you shall be clothedH3847 with shame;H1322 and the dwellingH168 place of the wickedH7563 shall come to nothing.H369
