ABP - Job - 8

8:1  And undertaking, Baldad the Shuhite, says,

8:2  Till when shall you speak these things [2spirit 1by a talkative] of your mouth?

8:3  Will the lord transgress judging? or the one making all things disturb the just?

8:4  If your sons sin before him, he sent them away in hand because of their lawlessness.

8:5  But you, rise early to the lord almighty beseeching him!

8:6  If you are pure and true, [3supplication 1he will heed 2your], and he will restore to you the habitation of righteousness.

8:7  It will be then that as your first shall be little, yet your last will be an untold amount.

8:8  For ask [2generation 1the first], and trace according to the race of the fathers!

8:9  [3of yesterday 1For 2we are], and have not known; [8a shadow 1for 2our 7is 3existence 4upon 5the 6earth];

8:10  shall these not teach you, and announce to you, and from out of the heart lead forth sayings?

8:11  Does [2flourish 1papyrus] without water? or shall [2rise up high 1the flowering rush] without drinking?

8:12  Yet being upon the root, and in no way harvested, [3before 4the 5drinking 6of all 7pasturage 1shall it not 2be dried]?

8:13  So therefore will it be for the last of all the ones forgetting the lord; for the hope of the impious shall perish.

8:14  [5uninhabited 1For 2his 4will be 3house], [5as for 6a spider 1and 2his 4will turn out to be 3tent].

8:15  If one should overlook his house, in no way shall it stand; and grasping it, in no way shall it remain.

8:16  [3wet 1For 2it is] under the sun, and [3out of 4his rottenness 1his tender branch 2shall come forth].

8:17  Upon a gathering of stones he goes to bed, and in the midst of gravel he shall live.

8:18  And if [3should swallow him 1the 2place], it shall lie to him, saying, Have you not seen such a thing?

8:19  For the undoing of the impious is such, and from out of the earth another shall sprout up.

8:20  For the lord in no way will undo the guileless, and every gift of the impious he will not receive.

8:21  [3of the true ones 1But 2the mouth] he will fill with laughter, and their lips with acknowledgment.

8:22  But their enemies shall put on shame; and the habitation of the impious will not be.
