Chapter 8

¹Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: ²“How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a mighty wind? ³Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness? ⁴If your children sinned against him, he delivered them into the hand of their transgression. ⁵If you will seek God diligently, and make your plea to the Almighty, ⁶if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and make your righteous dwelling prosperous. ⁷And though your beginning was small, your latter end will increase greatly. ⁸“For inquire, please, of bygone ages, and consider what the fathers have searched out. ⁹For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow. ¹⁰Will they not teach you and tell you and utter words from their understanding? ¹¹“Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Can reeds flourish where there is no water? ¹²While yet in flower and not cut down, they wither before any other plant. ¹³Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless shall perish. ¹⁴His confidence is broken; he puts his trust in a spider's web. ¹⁵He leans against his house, but it does not stand; he lays hold of it, but it does not endure. ¹⁶He is fresh before the sun, and his shoots spread over his garden. ¹⁷His roots entwine around the stone heap; he looks on a house of stones. ¹⁸If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’ ¹⁹Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the soil others will spring. ²⁰“Behold, God will not reject a blameless man, nor take the hand of evildoers. ²¹He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouts of joy. ²²Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
