        Job 8
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         1.  Then answered 
      
      
        <b>Bildad</b>
      
      
         the Shuhite, and said,
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be 
        like a strong wind?
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        3.  Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their 
        transgression;
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the 
        habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        7.  Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
      
    <br/>

      
         8.  For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of 
        their fathers:
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a 
        shadow:)
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        11.  Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other 
        herb.
      
    <br/>

      
         13.  So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
      
    <br/>

      
         14.  Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
      
    <br/>

      
         15.  He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it 
        shall not endure.
      
    <br/>

      
         16.  He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
      
    <br/>

      
         17.  His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen 
        thee.
      
    <br/>

      
         19.  Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
      
    <br/>

      
         20.  Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
      
    <br/>

      
         21.  Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
      
    <br/>

      
         22.  They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the 
        wicked shall come to nought.
