Job - Chapter: 8

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

 

8:1ויען בלדד השׁוחי ויאמר׃
8:2עד אן תמלל אלה ורוח כביר אמרי פיך׃
8:3האל יעות משׁפט ואם שׁדי יעות צדק׃
8:4אם בניך חטאו לו וישׁלחם ביד פשׁעם׃
8:5אם אתה תשׁחר אל אל ואל שׁדי תתחנן׃
8:6אם זך וישׁר אתה כי עתה יעיר עליך ושׁלם נות צדקך׃
8:7והיה ראשׁיתך מצער ואחריתך ישׂגה מאד׃
8:8כי שׁאל נא לדר רישׁון וכונן לחקר אבותם׃
8:9כי תמול אנחנו ולא נדע כי צל ימינו עלי ארץ׃
8:10הלא הם יורוך יאמרו לך ומלבם יוצאו מלים׃
8:11היגאה גמא בלא בצה ישׂגה אחו בלי מים׃
8:12עדנו באבו לא יקטף ולפני כל חציר ייבשׁ׃
8:13כן ארחות כל שׁכחי אל ותקות חנף תאבד׃
8:14אשׁר יקוט כסלו ובית עכבישׁ מבטחו׃
8:15ישׁען על ביתו ולא יעמד יחזיק בו ולא יקום׃
8:16רטב הוא לפני שׁמשׁ ועל גנתו ינקתו תצא׃
8:17על גל שׁרשׁיו יסבכו בית אבנים יחזה׃
8:18אם יבלענו ממקומו וכחשׁ בו לא ראיתיך׃
8:19הן הוא משׂושׂ דרכו ומעפר אחר יצמחו׃
8:20הן אל לא ימאס תם ולא יחזיק ביד מרעים׃
8:21עד ימלה שׂחוק פיך ושׂפתיך תרועה׃
8:22שׂנאיך ילבשׁו בשׁת ואהל רשׁעים איננו׃

 

8:1And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --
8:2Till when dost thou speak these things? And a strong wind -- sayings of thy mouth?
8:3Doth God pervert judgment? And doth the Mighty One pervert justice?
8:4If thy sons have sinned before Him, And He doth send them away, By the hand of their transgression,
8:5If thou dost seek early unto God, And unto the Mighty makest supplication,
8:6If pure and upright thou `art', Surely now He waketh for thee, And hath completed The habitation of thy righteousness.
8:7And thy beginning hath been small, And thy latter end is very great.
8:8For, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to a search of their fathers,
8:9(For of yesterday we `are', and we know not, For a shadow `are' our days on earth.)
8:10Do they not shew thee -- speak to thee, And from their heart bring forth words?
8:11`Doth a rush wise without mire? A reed increase without water?
8:12While it `is' in its budding -- uncropt, Even before any herb it withereth.
8:13So `are' the paths of all forgetting God, And the hope of the profane doth perish,
8:14Whose confidence is loathsome, And the house of a spider his trust.
8:15He leaneth on his house -- and it standeth not: He taketh hold on it -- and it abideth not.
8:16Green he `is' before the sun, And over his garden his branch goeth out.
8:17By a heap his roots are wrapped, A house of stones he looketh for.
8:18If `one' doth destroy him from his place, Then it hath feigned concerning him, I have not seen thee!
8:19Lo, this `is' the joy of his way, And from the dust others spring up.'
8:20Lo, God doth not reject the perfect, Nor taketh hold on the hand of evil doers.
8:21While he filleth with laughter thy mouth, And thy lips with shouting,
8:22Those hating thee do put on shame, And the tent of the wicked is not!
