1 Then|strong="H6030" answered|strong="H6030" Bildad|strong="H1085" the|strong="H6030" Shuhite|strong="H7747", and|strong="H6030" said|strong="H6030",
2 How|strong="H5704" long|strong="H5704" wilt thou|strong="H5704" speak|strong="H4448" these|strong="H4448" things? and|strong="H6310" how long shall|strong="H6310" the|strong="H5704" words|strong="H6310" of|strong="H7307" thy mouth|strong="H6310" be|strong="H7307" like a|strong="H3068" mighty|strong="H3524" wind|strong="H7307"?
3 Doth|strong="H4941" God pervert|strong="H5791" judgment|strong="H4941"? or|strong="H4941" doth|strong="H4941" the|strong="H4941" Almighty|strong="H7706" pervert|strong="H5791" justice|strong="H4941"?
4 If|strong="H2398" thy|strong="H7971" children|strong="H1121" have|strong="H1121" sinned|strong="H2398" against|strong="H2398" him|strong="H7971", and|strong="H1121" he|strong="H3027" have|strong="H1121" delivered|strong="H3027" them|strong="H7971" into|strong="H3027" the|strong="H7971" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H1121" their|strong="H7971" transgression|strong="H6588":
5 If|strong="H2603" thou wouldest seek|strong="H7836" diligently|strong="H7836" unto|strong="H7836" God, and|strong="H2603" make|strong="H2603" thy|strong="H2603" supplication|strong="H2603" to|strong="H2603" the|strong="H2603" Almighty|strong="H7706";
6 If|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3588" wert pure|strong="H2134" and|strong="H6664" upright|strong="H3477"; surely|strong="H3588" now|strong="H6258" he|strong="H3588" would|strong="H3477" awake|strong="H5782" for|strong="H3588" thee|strong="H7999", and|strong="H6664" make|strong="H7999" the|strong="H5921" habitation|strong="H5116" of|strong="H5921" thy|strong="H7999" righteousness|strong="H6664" prosperous|strong="H7999".
7 And|strong="H3966" though thy beginning|strong="H7225" was|strong="H1961" small|strong="H4705", yet thy latter end should greatly|strong="H3966" increase|strong="H7685".
8 For|strong="H3588" inquire|strong="H7592", I|strong="H3588" pray|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H7592", of|strong="H7592" the|strong="H3588" former|strong="H7223" age|strong="H1755", and|strong="H7223" apply thyself to|strong="H1755" that|strong="H3588" which|strong="H3588" their|strong="H3588" fathers have|strong="H7223" searched|strong="H2714" out|strong="H2714":
9 (For|strong="H3588" we|strong="H3068" are|strong="H3117" but|strong="H3588" of|strong="H3117" yesterday|strong="H8543", and|strong="H3117" know|strong="H3045" nothing|strong="H3808", because|strong="H3588" our|strong="H5921" days|strong="H3117" upon|strong="H5921" earth are|strong="H3117" a|strong="H3068" shadow|strong="H6738":)
10 Shall|strong="H3820" not|strong="H3808" they|strong="H1992" teach|strong="H3384" thee, and|strong="H3318" tell thee, and|strong="H3318" utter|strong="H3318" words|strong="H4405" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H3820" their|strong="H1992" heart|strong="H3820"?
11 Can|strong="H7685" the|strong="H3808" rush|strong="H1573" grow|strong="H7685" up|strong="H1342" without|strong="H3808" mire|strong="H1207"? can|strong="H7685" the|strong="H3808" flag grow|strong="H7685" without|strong="H3808" water|strong="H4325"?
12 Whilst it|strong="H6440" is|strong="H3605" yet|strong="H5750" in|strong="H6440" its|strong="H3605" greenness, and not|strong="H3808" cut|strong="H6998" down|strong="H6440", it|strong="H6440" withereth|strong="H3001" before|strong="H6440" any|strong="H3605" other herb|strong="H2682".
13 So|strong="H3651" are the|strong="H3605" paths of|strong="H3605" all|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" forget|strong="H7911" God; and|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" hope|strong="H8615" of|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" godless|strong="H2611" man|strong="H2611" shall|strong="H8615" perish:
14 Whose confidence|strong="H4009" shall|strong="H1004" break in|strong="H1004" sunder, and|strong="H1004" whose trust|strong="H4009" is|strong="H1004" a|strong="H3068" spider’s web|strong="H1004".
15 He|strong="H1004" shall|strong="H1004" lean|strong="H8172" upon|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" house|strong="H1004", but|strong="H3808" it|strong="H5921" shall|strong="H1004" not|strong="H3808" stand|strong="H5975": he|strong="H1004" shall|strong="H1004" hold|strong="H2388" fast|strong="H2388" thereby, but|strong="H3808" it|strong="H5921" shall|strong="H1004" not|strong="H3808" endure|strong="H5975".
16 He|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" green|strong="H7373" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" sun|strong="H8121", and|strong="H6440" his|strong="H6440" shoots|strong="H3127" go|strong="H3318" forth|strong="H3318" over|strong="H5921" his|strong="H6440" garden|strong="H1593".
17 His|strong="H5921" roots|strong="H8328" are|strong="H1004" wrapped about|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" heap|strong="H1530", he|strong="H1004" beholdeth the|strong="H5921" place|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" stones.
18 If|strong="H7200" he|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" destroyed|strong="H1104" from|strong="H7200" his|strong="H7200" place|strong="H4725", then|strong="H7200" it|strong="H7200" shall|strong="H3808" deny|strong="H3584" him|strong="H7200", saying, I|strong="H7200" have|strong="H7200" not|strong="H3808" seen|strong="H7200" thee|strong="H7200".
19 Behold|strong="H2005", this|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" the|strong="H1870" joy|strong="H4885" of|strong="H1870" his|strong="H1931" way|strong="H1870", and|strong="H1870" out|strong="H6779" of|strong="H1870" the|strong="H1870" earth|strong="H6083" shall|strong="H1931" others spring|strong="H6779".
20 Behold|strong="H2005", God|strong="H3808" will|strong="H3027" not|strong="H3808" cast|strong="H3988" away|strong="H3988" a|strong="H3068" perfect|strong="H8535" man|strong="H8535", neither|strong="H3808" will|strong="H3027" he|strong="H3027" uphold the|strong="H2388" evil-doers.
21 He|strong="H5704" will|strong="H5704" yet|strong="H5704" fill|strong="H4390" thy|strong="H4390" mouth|strong="H6310" with|strong="H4390" laughter|strong="H7814", and|strong="H6310" thy|strong="H4390" lips|strong="H8193" with|strong="H4390" shouting|strong="H8643".
22 They that|strong="H1322" hate|strong="H8130" thee|strong="H8130" shall|strong="H7563" be|strong="H7563" clothed|strong="H3847" with|strong="H3847" shame|strong="H1322"; and|strong="H7563" the|strong="H8130" tent of|strong="H1322" the|strong="H8130" wicked|strong="H7563" shall|strong="H7563" be|strong="H7563" no|strong="H7563" more|strong="H7563".
