8:1 Then answered 6030 8799 Bildad 1085 the Shuhite 7747, and said 559 8799,

8:2 How 575 long 5704 wilt thou speak 4448 8762 these [things]? and [how long shall] the words 561 of thy mouth 6310 [be like] a strong 3524 wind 7307?

8:3 Doth God 410 pervert 5791 8762 judgment 4941? or doth the Almighty 7706 pervert 5791 8762 justice 6664?

8:4 If thy children 1121 have sinned 2398 8804 against him, and he have cast them away 7971 8762 for 3027 their transgression 6588;(for…: Heb. in the hand of their transgression)

8:5 If thou wouldest seek 7836 0 unto God 410 betimes 7836 8762, and make thy supplication 2603 8691 to the Almighty 7706;

8:6 If thou [wert] pure 2134 and upright 3477; surely now he would awake 5782 8686 for thee, and make the habitation 5116 of thy righteousness 6664 prosperous 7999 8765.

8:7 Though thy beginning 7225 was small 4705, yet thy latter end 319 should greatly 3966 increase 7685 8799.

8:8 For enquire 7592 8798, I pray thee, of the former 7223 8675 7223 age 1755, and prepare 3559 8786 thyself to the search 2714 of their fathers 1:

8:9 (For we [are but of] yesterday 8543, and know 3045 8799 nothing, because our days 3117 upon earth 776 [are] a shadow 6738:)(nothing: Heb. not)

8:10 Shall not they teach 3384 8686 thee, [and] tell 559 8799 thee, and utter 3318 8686 words 4405 out of their heart 3820?

8:11 Can the rush 1573 grow up 1342 8799 without mire 1207? can 7685 0 the flag 260 grow 7685 8799 without 1097 water 4325?

8:12 Whilst it [is] yet in his greenness 3, [and] not cut down 6998 8735, it withereth 3001 8799 before 6440 any [other] herb 2682.

8:13 So [are] the paths 734 of all that forget 7911 8802 God 410; and the hypocrite's 2611 hope 8615 shall perish 6 8799:

8:14 Whose hope 3689 shall be cut off 6990 8799, and whose trust 4009 [shall be] a spider's 5908 web 1004.(web: Heb. house)

8:15 He shall lean 8172 8735 upon his house 1004, but it shall not stand 5975 8799: he shall hold 2388 8686 it fast, but it shall not endure 6965 8799.

8:16 He [is] green 7373 before 6440 the sun 8121, and his branch 3127 shooteth forth 3318 8799 in his garden 1593.

8:17 His roots 8328 are wrapped about 5440 8792 the heap 1530, [and] seeth 2372 8799 the place 1004 of stones 68.

8:18 If he destroy 1104 8762 him from his place 4725, then [it] shall deny 3584 8765 him, [saying], I have not seen 7200 8804 thee.

8:19 Behold, this [is] the joy 4885 of his way 1870, and out of the earth 6083 shall others 312 grow 6779 8799.

8:20 Behold, God 410 will not cast away 3988 8799 a perfect 8535 [man], neither will he help 2388 8686 3027 the evil doers 7489 8688:(help…: Heb. take the ungodly by the hand)

8:21 Till he fill 4390 8762 thy mouth 6310 with laughing 7814, and thy lips 8193 with rejoicing 8643.(rejoicing: Heb. shouting for joy)

8:22 They that hate 8130 8802 thee shall be clothed 3847 8799 with shame 1322; and the dwelling 168 place of the wicked 7563 shall come to nought 369.(shall come…: Heb. shall not be)
