| 1 | Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, |
| 2 | How long wilt thou speake these things? and how long shall the wordes of thy mouth be like a strong wind? |
| 3 | Doth God peruert iudgement? or doth the Almightie peruert iustice? |
| 4 | If thy children haue sinned against him, and he haue cast them away for their transgression: |
| 5 | If thou wouldest seeke vnto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almightie: |
| 6 | If thou wert pure and vpright, surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousnes prosperous. |
| 7 | Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. |
| 8 | For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy selfe to the search of their fathers. |
| 9 | (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our dayes vpon earth are a shadow.) |
| 10 | Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, & vtter words out of their heart? |
| 11 | Can the rush growe vp without myre? can the flag growe without water? |
| 12 | Whilest it is yet in his greennesse, and not cut downe, it withereth before any other herbe. |
| 13 | So are the paths of all that forget God, and the hypocrites hope shall perish: |
| 14 | Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spiders web. |
| 15 | He shall leane vpon his house, but it shall not stand: he shal hold it fast, but it shall not endure. |
| 16 | He is greene before the sunne, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. |
| 17 | His roots are wrapped about the heape, and seeth the place of stones. |
| 18 | If he destroy him from his place, then it shal denie him, saying, I haue not seene thee. |
| 19 | Beholde, this is the ioy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. |
| 20 | Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will hee helpe the euill doers: |
| 21 | Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with reioycing. |
| 22 | They that hate thee shall be cloathed with shame, and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. |
