Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said, |
|
8:1 ¶
Then answered°°
Bildad°
the Shuhite,°
and said,°° |
|
8:2
How long wilt thou speak these things, [how long shall] the breath of thy mouth [be] abundant in words? |
|
8:2
How°
long°°
wilt thou speak°°
these°
[things]? and [how long shall] the words°
of thy mouth°
[be like] a strong°
wind?° |
|
8:3
Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things pervert justice? |
|
8:3
Doth El°
pervert°°
judgment?°
or°
doth Shaddai°
pervert°°
justice?° |
|
8:4
If thy sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression. |
|
8:4
If°
thy children°
have sinned°°
against him, and he have cast them away°°
for°
their transgression;° |
|
8:5
But be thou early in prayer to the Lord Almighty. |
|
8:5
If°
thou°
wouldest seek°°
unto El°
betimes,°°°°
and make thy supplication°°
to°
Shaddai;° |
|
8:6
If thou art pure and true, he will hearken to thy supplication, and will restore to thee the habitation of righteousness. |
|
8:6
If°
thou°
[wert] pure°
and upright;°
surely°
now°
he would awake°°
for°
thee, and make the habitation°
of thy righteousness°
prosperous.°° |
|
8:7
Though then thy beginning should be small, yet thy end should be unspeakably great. |
|
8:7
Though thy beginning°
was°
small,°
yet thy latter end°
should greatly°
increase.°° |
|
8:8
For ask of the former generation, and search diligently among the race of [our] fathers: |
|
8:8
For°
enquire,°°
I pray thee,°
of the former°°
age,°
and prepare°°
thyself to the search°
of their fathers:° |
|
8:9
(for we are of yesterday, and know nothing; for our life upon the earth is a shadow:) |
|
8:9
(For°
we°
[are but of] yesterday,°
and know°°
nothing,°
because°
our days°
upon°
earth°
[are] a shadow:)° |
|
8:10
shall not these teach thee, and report [to thee], and bring out words from [their] heart? |
|
8:10
Shall not°
they°
teach°°
thee, [and] tell°°
thee, and utter°°
words°
out of their heart?°° |
|
8:11
Does the rush flourish without water, or shall the flag grow up without moisture? |
|
8:11
Can the rush°
grow up°°
without°
mire?°
can°°
the flag°
grow°°
without°
water?° |
|
8:12
When it is yet on the root, and [though] it has not been cut down, does not any herb wither before it has received moisture? |
|
8:12
Whilst it [is] yet°
in his greenness,°
[and] not°
cut down,°°
it withereth°°
before°
any°
[other] herb.° |
|
8:13
Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish. |
|
8:13
So°
[are] the paths°
of all°
that forget°°
El;°
and the hypocrite's°
hope°
shall perish:°° |
|
8:14
For his house shall be without inhabitants, and his tent shall prove a spider's web. |
|
8:14
Whose°
hope°
shall be cut off,°°
and whose trust°
[shall be] a spider's°
web.° |
|
8:15
If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: and when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain. |
|
8:15
He shall lean°°
upon°
his house,°
but it shall not°
stand:°°
he shall hold°°
it fast,°
but it shall not°
endure.°° |
|
8:16
For it is moist under the sun, and his branch shall come forth out of his dung-heap. |
|
8:16
He°
[is] green°
before°
the sun,°
and his branch°
shooteth forth°°
in°
his garden.° |
|
8:17
He lies down upon a gathering of stones, and shall live in the mist of flints. |
|
8:17
His roots°
are wrapped°
about°°°
the heap,°
[and] seeth°°
the place°
of stones.° |
|
8:18
If [God] should destroy [him], his place shall deny him. Hast thou not seen such things, |
|
8:18
If°
he destroy°°
him from his place,°°
then [it] shall deny°°
him, [saying], I have not°
seen°°
thee. |
|
8:19
that such is the overthrow of the ungodly? and out of the earth another shall grow. |
|
8:19
Behold,°
this°
[is] the joy°
of his way,°
and out of the earth°°
shall others°
grow.°° |
|
8:20
For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; but he will not receive any gift of the ungodly. |
|
8:20
Behold,°
El°
will not°
cast away°°
a perfect°
[man], neither°
will he help°°°
the evil doers:°° |
|
8:21
But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, and their lips with thanksgiving. |
|
8:21
Till°
he fill°°
thy mouth°
with laughing,°
and thy lips°
with rejoicing.° |
|
8:22
But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish. |
|
8:22
They that hate°°
thee shall be clothed°°
with shame;°
and the dwelling°
place°
of the wicked°
shall come to nought.° |
