8 And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 How long wilt thou utter these things–
These thy blustering windy words?
3 Is God a perverter of justice?
The Almighty subverter of right?
4 If thy children, for sinning against Him,
He has left to bear their transgressions,
5 Yet seek thou thyself unto God,
And supplicate the Almighty.
6 And if thou art pure and upright,
Thy righteous abode He will prosper;
7 And, though thy beginning be slender,
Thine end He shall greatly increase.
8 For inquire thou of past generations,
Regard the search of the fathers:–
9 For we are but dullards of yesterday,
Whose days on the earth are a shadow–
10 Shall they not give thee instruction,
And bring forth words out of their heart?
11 Can the rush shoot high without swamp,
Or the reed grow up without water?
12 While yet in its freshness, unplucked,
Of all herbs it withers most quickly.
13 So end all who put God out of mind.
And the hope of the hypocrite dies.
14 His confidence is but a thread,
And his trust as the web of a spider.
15 He leans on his house, but it stands not:
He grasps, but it cannot endure.
16 Like a plant is he, fresh in the sunshine,
With suckers that shoot o’er the garden.
17 Its roots are entwined round the well,
It lays hold of its stone habitation,
18 But when it is ruined, the spot
Denies having ever beheld it.
19 Thus its course ends in desolation
And out of the dust springs another."
20 See! God spurns not an innocent man,
But He will not uphold evildoers.
21 He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter
Thy lips with a shout of joy.
22 Thy foes shall be clothed with shame,
And the tent of the wicked shall vanish.
