Chapter 8
Job DRC 8:1  Then Baldad, the Suhite, answered, and said:
Job DRC 8:2  How long wilt thou speak these things, and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
Job DRC 8:3  Doth God pervert judgment, or doth the Almighty overthrow that which is just?
Job DRC 8:4  Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity:
Job DRC 8:5  Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:
Job DRC 8:6  If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake unto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable:
Job DRC 8:7  In so much, that if thy former things were small thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly.
Job DRC 8:8  For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers:
Job DRC 8:9  (For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow)
Job DRC 8:10  And they shall teach thee: they shall speak to thee, and utter words out of their hearts.
Job DRC 8:11  Can the rush be green without moisture? or sedge bush grow without water?
Job DRC 8:12  When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs.
Job DRC 8:13  Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish:
Job DRC 8:14  His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider's web.
Job DRC 8:15  He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise:
Job DRC 8:16  He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh; and at his rising, his blossom shall shoot forth.
Job DRC 8:17  His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones; and among the stones he shall abide.
Job DRC 8:18  If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not.
Job DRC 8:19  For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth.
Job DRC 8:20  God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the evil doer:
Job DRC 8:21  Until thy mouth be filled with laughter, and thy lips with rejoicing.
Job DRC 8:22  They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the dwelling of the wicked shall not stand.
