Job 8

1 And he answered Bildad the Shuhite and he said.

Then Bildad, from [the] Shuah [area], spoke to Job. He said,

2 Until when? will you say these [things] and [will be] a wind mighty [the] words of mouth your.

“Job, how much longer will you talk like this? What you say is [only] hot air.

3 ¿ God does he pervert justice and or? [the] Almighty does he pervert righteousness.

Almighty God certainly never does [RHQ] what is unfair/unjust. He always does [LIT] what is right/fair.

4 If children your they sinned to him and he sent them in [the] hand of transgression their.

So, it is evident that your children have sinned against him, therefore he has caused them to be punished for evil things that they have done.

5 If you you will seek God and to [the] Almighty you will seek favor.

But, if you will [now] earnestly request [DOU] Almighty [God] to help you,

6 If [are] pure and upright you for now he will awake on you and he will restore [the] abode of righteousness your.

and if you are pure and honest/righteous, he will surely do something good for you and reward you by giving your family back to you and enabling you to prosper.

7 And it will be beginning your a small thing and future your it will grow exceedingly.

And even though you [think that you] were not very prosperous/wealthy before, during the last part of your life you will become very wealthy.

8 For ask please of a generation former and give attention to [the] searching of ancestors their.

“I request you to think about what happened long ago and consider what our ancestors found out.

9 For [are] yesterday we and not we know that [are] a shadow days our on earth.

[It seems as though] we were born only yesterday and we know very little [HYP]; our time here on the earth [disappears quickly, like] a shadow [MET].

10 ¿ Not they will they instruct you will they say? to you and from heart their will they bring forth? words.

So, why do you not allow your ancestors to teach you and tell you something? Allow them to tell you from what they learned!

11 ¿ Will it grow tall papyrus with not marsh will it grow? reed[s] not water.

Papyrus can certainly not [RHQ] grow in places where there is no marsh/swamp; reeds certainly cannot [RHQ] flourish/grow where there is no water.

12 Still it [is] in greenness its not it is plucked off and before any herbage it is dried up.

[If they do not have enough water], while they are still blossoming, they wither more quickly than other plants wither.

13 [are] thus [the] paths of All [those who] forget God and [the] hope of [the] godless it will be lost.

Those who do not pay attention to what God says are like those [reeds]; godless people stop confidently expecting [that good things will happen to them].

14 [the one] who It snaps confidence his and [is the] house of a spider trust his.

The things they confidently expect to happen do not happen; things they trust [will help them] are [as fragile as] [MET] a spider’s web.

15 He supports himself on house his and not it stands he takes hold on it and not it endures.

If they lean against a house (OR, trust in their wealth; OR, lean on a spider web), it does not (endure/protect them) [LIT]; they cling to things [to be protected], but those things do not remain firm.

16 [is] a fresh [plant] He before [the] sun and over garden its young shoot[s] its it goes out.

Godless people [are like plants] [MET] that are watered before the sun rises; their shoots spread all over the gardens.

17 Over a heap roots its they are interwoven between stones it sees.

The roots of those plants twist around piles of stones and cling tightly to rocks.

18 If someone will swallow it from place its and it will deny it not I have seen you.

But if those plants are pulled out, [it is as though] the place where they were planted says ‘They were never here!’ [And that is what happens to wicked people who do not heed what God says].

19 There! that [is] [the] joy of way its and from [the] dust another they will spring up.

Truly, evil people [MET] are not joyful [IRO] for a long time; other people come and take their places.

20 There! God not he rejects a blameless [person] and not he takes hold on [the] hand of evil-doers.

:So, [I tell you, Job], God will not reject you if you are truly godly/righteous, but he does not help [IDM] evil people.

21 Until he will fill laughter mouth your and lips your a shout of joy.

He will enable you [MTY] to continually laugh and to always shout [joyfully].

22 [those who] hate You they will be clothed shame and [the] tent of wicked [people] there not [will be] it.

But those who hate you will be very ashamed, and the homes of wicked people will disappear.”
