AKJV - Job - 8

8:1  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

8:2  How long will you speak these things? and how long shall the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

8:3  Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?

8:4  If your children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;

8:5  If you would seek to God betimes, and make your supplication to the Almighty;

8:6  If you were pure and upright; surely now he would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.

8:7  Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end should greatly increase.

8:8  For inquire, I pray you, of the former age, and prepare yourself to the search of their fathers:

8:9  (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow:)

8:10  Shall not they teach you, and tell you, and utter words out of their heart?

8:11  Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?

8:12  Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it wither before any other herb.

8:13  So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

8:14  Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.

8:15  He shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

8:16  He is green before the sun, and his branch shoots forth in his garden.

8:17  His roots are wrapped about the heap, and sees the place of stones.

8:18  If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen you.

8:19  Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.

8:20  Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:

8:21  Till he fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing.

8:22  They that hate you shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nothing.
