[1]Then answeredH6030[H8799] BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, H559and saidH8799
[2]HowH575 longH5704 wilt thou speakH4448[H8762] these things? and how long shall the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310 be like a strongH3524 windH7307?
[3]Doth GodH410 pervertH5791[H8762] judgmentH4941? or doth the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791[H8762] justiceH6664?
[4]If thy childrenH1121 have sinnedH2398[H8804] against him, and he have cast them awayH7971[H8762] forH3027 their transgressionH6588;
[5]If thou wouldest seekH7836 unto GodH410 betimesH7836[H8762], and make thy supplicationH2603[H8691] to the AlmightyH7706;
[6]If thou wert pureH2134 and uprightH3477; surely now he would awakeH5782[H8686] for thee, and make the habitationH5116 of thy righteousnessH6664 prosperousH7999.[H8765]
[7]Though thy beginningH7225 was smallH4705, yet thy latter endH319 should greatlyH3966 increaseH7685.[H8799]
[8]For enquireH7592[H8798], I pray thee, of the formerH7223[H8675][H7223] ageH1755, and prepareH3559[H8786] thyself to the searchH2714 of their fathersH1:
[9](For we are but of yesterdayH8543, and knowH3045[H8799] nothing, because our daysH3117 upon earthH776 are a shadowH6738:)
[10]Shall not they teachH3384[H8686] thee, and tellH559[H8799] thee, and utterH3318[H8686] wordsH4405 out of their heartH3820?
[11]Can the rushH1573 grow upH1342[H8799] without mireH1207? canH7685 the flagH260 growH7685[H8799] withoutH1097 waterH4325?
[12]Whilst it is yet in his greennessH3, and not cut downH6998[H8735], it witherethH3001[H8799] beforeH6440 any other herbH2682.
[13]So are the pathsH734 of all that forgetH7911[H8802] GodH410; and the hypocrite'sH2611 hopeH8615 shall perishH6:[H8799]
[14]Whose hopeH3689 shall be cut offH6990[H8799], and whose trustH4009 shall be a spider'sH5908 webH1004.
[15]He shall leanH8172[H8735] upon his houseH1004, but it shall not standH5975[H8799]: he shall holdH2388[H8686] it fast, but it shall not endureH6965.[H8799]
[16]He is greenH7373 beforeH6440 the sunH8121, and his branchH3127 shooteth forthH3318[H8799] in his gardenH1593.
[17]His rootsH8328 are wrapped aboutH5440[H8792] the heapH1530, and seethH2372[H8799] the placeH1004 of stonesH68.
[18]If he destroyH1104[H8762] him from his placeH4725, then it shall denyH3584[H8765] him, saying, I have not seenH7200 theeH8804.
[19]Behold, this is the joyH4885 of his wayH1870, and out of the earthH6083 shall othersH312 growH6779.[H8799]
[20]Behold, GodH410 will not cast awayH3988[H8799] a perfectH8535 man, neither will he helpH2388[H8686][H3027] the evil doersH7489:[H8688]
[21]Till he fillH4390[H8762] thy mouthH6310 with laughingH7814, and thy lipsH8193 with rejoicingH8643.
[22]They that hateH8130[H8802] thee shall be clothedH3847[H8799] with shameH1322; and the dwellingH168 place of the wickedH7563 shall come to noughtH369.
