Job 8
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,2How long wilt thou speak these <add>things?</add> and <add>how long shall</add> the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?3Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?4If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;5If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;6If thou <add>wert</add> pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.7Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.8For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:9(For we <add>are but of</add> yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth <add>are</add> a shadow:)10Shall not they teach thee, <add>and</add> tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?11Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?12Whilst it <add>is</add> yet in his greenness, <add>and</add> not cut down, it withereth before any <add>other</add> herb.13So <add>are</add> the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:14Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust <add>shall be</add> a spider’s web.15He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.16He <add>is</add> green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.17His roots are wrapped about the heap, <add>and</add> seeth the place of stones.18If he destroy him from his place, then <add>it</add> shall deny him, <add>saying</add>, I have not seen thee.19Behold, this <add>is</add> the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.20Behold, God will not cast away a perfect <add>man</add>, neither will he help the evil doers:21Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.22They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
