1 # Then answered <06030> (8799) Bildad <01085> the Shuhite <07747>, and said <0559> (8799),
2 How <0575> long <05704> wilt thou speak <04448> (8762) these things? and how long shall the words <0561> of thy mouth <06310> be like a strong <03524> wind <07307>?
3 Doth God <0410> pervert <05791> (8762) judgment <04941>? or doth the Almighty <07706> pervert <05791> (8762) justice <06664>?
4 If thy children <01121> have sinned <02398> (8804) against him, and he have cast them away <07971> (8762) for <03027> their transgression <06588>;
5 If thou wouldest seek <07836> <00> unto God <0410> betimes <07836> (8762), and make thy supplication <02603> (8691) to the Almighty <07706>;
6 If thou wert pure <02134> and upright <03477>; surely now he would awake <05782> (8686) for thee, and make the habitation <05116> of thy righteousness <06664> prosperous <07999> (8765).
7 Though thy beginning <07225> was small <04705>, yet thy latter end <0319> should greatly <03966> increase <07685> (8799).
8 # For enquire <07592> (8798), I pray thee, of the former <07223> (8675) <07223> age <01755>, and prepare <03559> (8786) thyself to the search <02714> of their fathers <01>:
9 (For we are but of yesterday <08543>, and know <03045> (8799) nothing, because our days <03117> upon earth <0776> are a shadow <06738>:)
10 Shall not they teach <03384> (8686) thee, and tell <0559> (8799) thee, and utter <03318> (8686) words <04405> out of their heart <03820>?
11 Can the rush <01573> grow up <01342> (8799) without mire <01207>? can <07685> <00> the flag <0260> grow <07685> (8799) without <01097> water <04325>?
12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness <03>, and not cut down <06998> (8735), it withereth <03001> (8799) before <06440> any other herb <02682>.
13 So are the paths <0734> of all that forget <07911> (8802) God <0410>; and the hypocrite's <02611> hope <08615> shall perish <06> (8799):
14 Whose hope <03689> shall be cut off <06990> (8799), and whose trust <04009> shall be a spider's <05908> web <01004>.
15 He shall lean <08172> (8735) upon his house <01004>, but it shall not stand <05975> (8799): he shall hold <02388> (8686) it fast, but it shall not endure <06965> (8799).
16 He is green <07373> before <06440> the sun <08121>, and his branch <03127> shooteth forth <03318> (8799) in his garden <01593>.
17 His roots <08328> are wrapped about <05440> (8792) the heap <01530>, and seeth <02372> (8799) the place <01004> of stones <068>.
18 If he destroy <01104> (8762) him from his place <04725>, then it shall deny <03584> (8765) him, saying, I have not seen <07200> (8804) thee.
19 Behold, this is the joy <04885> of his way <01870>, and out of the earth <06083> shall others <0312> grow <06779> (8799).
20 # Behold, God <0410> will not cast away <03988> (8799) a perfect <08535> man, neither will he help <02388> (8686) <03027> the evil doers <07489> (8688):
21 Till he fill <04390> (8762) thy mouth <06310> with laughing <07814>, and thy lips <08193> with rejoicing <08643>.
 - GOOD NEWS
22 They that hate <08130> (8802) thee shall be clothed <03847> (8799) with shame <01322>; and the dwelling <0168> place of the wicked <07563> shall come to nought <0369>.
