< Job 8 >
1 And he answered Bildad the Shuhite and he said.
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
2 Until when? will you say these [things] and [will be] a wind mighty [the] words of mouth your.
“How long will you say these things? How long will the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
3 ¿ God does he pervert justice and or? [the] Almighty does he pervert righteousness.
Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
4 If children your they sinned to him and he sent them in [the] hand of transgression their.
Your children have sinned against him; we know this, for he gave them into the hand of their sins.
5 If you you will seek God and to [the] Almighty you will seek favor.
But suppose you diligently sought God and presented your request to the Almighty.
6 If [are] pure and upright you for now he will awake on you and he will restore [the] abode of righteousness your.
If you are pure and upright, then he would surely stir himself on your behalf and restore you to your rightful place.
7 And it will be beginning your a small thing and future your it will grow exceedingly.
Even though your beginning was small, still your final condition would be much greater.
8 For ask please of a generation former and give attention to [the] searching of ancestors their.
Please ask the former generations, and give your attention to what our ancestors learned.
9 For [are] yesterday we and not we know that [are] a shadow days our on earth.
(We were only born yesterday and know nothing because our days on earth are a shadow).
10 ¿ Not they will they instruct you will they say? to you and from heart their will they bring forth? words.
Will they not teach you and tell you? Will they not speak words from their hearts?
11 ¿ Will it grow tall papyrus with not marsh will it grow? reed[s] not water.
Can papyrus grow without a marsh? Can reeds grow without water?
12 Still it [is] in greenness its not it is plucked off and before any herbage it is dried up.
While they are still green and not cut down, they wither before any other plant.
13 [are] thus [the] paths of All [those who] forget God and [the] hope of [the] godless it will be lost.
So also are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless will perish.
14 [the one] who It snaps confidence his and [is the] house of a spider trust his.
His confidence will break apart, and his trust is as weak as a spider's web.
15 He supports himself on house his and not it stands he takes hold on it and not it endures.
He leans on his house, but it will not support him; he takes hold of it, but it does not stand.
16 [is] a fresh [plant] He before [the] sun and over garden its young shoot[s] its it goes out.
Under the sun he is green, and his shoots go out over his entire garden.
17 Over a heap roots its they are interwoven between stones it sees.
His roots are wrapped about the heaps of stone; they look for good places among the rocks.
18 If someone will swallow it from place its and it will deny it not I have seen you.
But if this person is destroyed out of his place, then that place will deny him and say, 'I never saw you.'
19 There! that [is] [the] joy of way its and from [the] dust another they will spring up.
See, this is the “joy” of such a person's behavior; other plants will sprout out of the same soil in his place.
20 There! God not he rejects a blameless [person] and not he takes hold on [the] hand of evil-doers.
See, God will not cast away an innocent man; neither will he take the hand of evildoers.
21 Until he will fill laughter mouth your and lips your a shout of joy.
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
22 [those who] hate You they will be clothed shame and [the] tent of wicked [people] there not [will be] it.
Those who hate you will be clothed with shame; the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
