< Job 8 >
1 And he answered Bildad the Shuhite and he said.
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 Until when? will you say these [things] and [will be] a wind mighty [the] words of mouth your.
“How long will you speak these things? Shall 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? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
4 If children your they sinned to him and he sent them in [the] hand of transgression their.
If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
5 If you you will seek God and to [the] Almighty you will seek favor.
If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication 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 were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
7 And it will be beginning your a small thing and future your it will grow exceedingly.
Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.
8 For ask please of a generation former and give attention to [the] searching of ancestors their.
“Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.
9 For [are] yesterday we and not we know that [are] a shadow days our on earth.
(For we are but of 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.
Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
11 ¿ Will it grow tall papyrus with not marsh will it grow? reed[s] not water.
“Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?
12 Still it [is] in greenness its not it is plucked off and before any herbage it is dried up.
While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.
13 [are] thus [the] paths of All [those who] forget God and [the] hope of [the] godless it will be lost.
So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,
14 [the one] who It snaps confidence his and [is the] house of a spider trust his.
whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is 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 will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
16 [is] a fresh [plant] He before [the] sun and over garden its young shoot[s] its it goes out.
He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.
17 Over a heap roots its they are interwoven between stones it sees.
His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
18 If someone will swallow it from place its and it will deny it not I have seen you.
If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
19 There! that [is] [the] joy of way its and from [the] dust another they will spring up.
Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.
20 There! God not he rejects a blameless [person] and not he takes hold on [the] hand of evil-doers.
“Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
21 Until he will fill laughter mouth your and lips your a shout of joy.
He will still 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.”
