Job 8:1-9 ▼

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2 “How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

4 If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.

5 If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.

6 If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.

7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.

8 “Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.

9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)
