Job CPDV 8:5  even so, you should arise early to God, so as to beseech the Almighty.
Job CPDV 8:6  If you approach with purity and honesty, he will quickly be attentive to you, and a peaceful life will repay your righteousness,
Job CPDV 8:7  so much so that, if your former things were small, your latter things would be multiplied greatly.
Job CPDV 8:8  For inquire of the earliest generation, and investigate diligently the history of the fathers,
Job CPDV 8:9  (of course, we are but of yesterday and are ignorant that our days on earth are like a shadow,)
Job CPDV 8:10  and they will teach you; they will speak with you and will offer you the eloquence of their hearts.
Job CPDV 8:11  Can the marsh plant live without moisture? Or can sedges grow without water?
Job CPDV 8:12  When it is still in flower, and has not been pulled up by hand, it withers before all other plants.

Job CPDV 8:14  His frenzy will not please him, and his faith will be like a spider’s web.
Job CPDV 8:15  He will lean on his house, and it will not stand; he will prop it up, but it will not rise.

Job CPDV 8:17  His roots will crowd together over a heap of stones, and among the stones he will remain.
Job CPDV 8:18  If someone is devoured right beside him, he will deny him and will say: “I do not know you.”
Job CPDV 8:19  For this is the benefit of his way, that others in turn may spring up from the earth.
Job CPDV 8:20  God will not discard the simple, nor will he extend his hand to the spiteful,
Job CPDV 8:21  even until your mouth is filled with laughter and your lips with rejoicing.
Job CPDV 8:22  Those who hate you, will be clothed with confusion, and the tabernacle of the impious will not continue.
