World English Bible Classic
[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.)
[10] Shall they not teach you, tell you,
and utter words out of their heart? [11] “Can the papyrus grow up without mire?
Can the rushes grow without water?
[12] While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down,
it withers before any other reed.
[13] So are the paths of all who forget God.
The hope of the godless man will perish,
[14] whose confidence will break apart,
whose trust is a spider’s web.
[15] He will lean on his house, but it will not stand.
He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
[16] He is green before the sun.
His shoots go out along his garden.
[17] His roots are wrapped around the rock pile.
He sees the place of stones.
[18] If he is destroyed from his place,
then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
[19] Behold, this is the joy of his way.
Out of the earth, others will spring. [20] “Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man,
neither will he uphold the evildoers.
[21] He will still fill your mouth with laughter,
your lips with shouting.
[22] Those who hate you will be clothed with shame.
The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
King James Version

Bildad’s Speech

[1] Then answered H6030 Bildad H1085 the Shuhite, H7747 and said, H559
[2] How H575 long H5704 wilt thou speak H4448 these things?
And how long shall the words H561 of thy mouth H6310 be like a strong H3524 wind? H7307
[3] Doth God H410 pervert H5791 judgment? H4941
Or doth the Almighty H7706 pervert H5791 justice? H6664
[4] If thy children H1121 have sinned H2398 against him,
And he have cast them away H7971 for H3027 their transgression; H6588§
[5] If thou wouldest seek H7836 unto H413 God H410 betimes, H7836
And make thy supplication H2603 to the Almighty; H7706
[6] If thou wert pure H2134 and upright; H3477
Surely now he would awake H5782 for thee,
And make the habitation H5116 of thy righteousness H6664 prosperous. H7999
[7] Though thy beginning H7225 was small, H4705
Yet thy latter end H319 should greatly H3966 increase. H7685
[8] For H3588 enquire, H7592 I pray thee, of the former H7223 H7223 age, H1755
And prepare H3559 thyself to the search H2714 of their fathers: H1
[9] (For we are but of yesterday, H8543 and know H3045 nothing,§
Because our days H3117 upon H5921 earth H776 are a shadow:) H6738
[10] Shall H3384 not H3808 they teach H3384 thee, and tell H559 thee,
And utter H3318 words H4405 out of their heart? H3820
[11] Can the rush H1573 grow up H1342 without mire? H1207
Can H7685 the flag H260 grow H7685 without H1097 water? H4325
[12] Whilst it is yet in his greenness, H3 and not cut down, H6998
It withereth H3001 before H6440 any other herb. H2682
[13] So are the paths H734 of all that forget H7911 God; H410
And the hypocrite’s H2611 hope H8615 shall perish: H6
[14] Whose H834 hope H3689 shall be cut off, H6990
And whose trust H4009 shall be a spider’s H5908 web. H1004
[15] He shall lean H8172 upon H5921 his house, H1004 but it shall not stand: H5975
He shall hold H2388 it fast, but it shall not endure. H6965
[16] He is green H7373 before H6440 the sun, H8121
And his branch H3127 shooteth forth H3318 in his garden. H1593
[17] His roots H8328 are wrapped about H5440 the heap, H1530
And seeth H2372 the place H1004 of stones. H68
[18] If he destroy H1104 him from his place, H4725
Then it shall deny H3584 him, saying,
I have not seen H7200 thee.
[19] Behold, this is the joy H4885 of his way, H1870
And out of the earth H6083 shall others H312 grow. H6779
[20] Behold, God H410 will H3988 not H3808 cast away H3988 a perfect H8535 man,
Neither will he help H2388 H3027 the evil doers: H7489§
[21] Till H5704 he fill H4390 thy mouth H6310 with laughing, H7814
And thy lips H8193 with rejoicing. H8643§
[22] They that hate H8130 thee shall be clothed H3847 with shame; H1322
And the dwelling H168 place of the wicked H7563 shall come to nought. H369ⓘ

[1] Ὑπολαβὼν G5274 δὲ G1161 Βαλδαδ ὁ G3588 Σαυχίτης λέγει G3004 [2] Μέχρι G3360 τίνος G5101 λαλήσεις G2980 ταῦτα; G5023 Πνεῦμα G4151 πολυρῆμον τοῦ G3588 στόματός G4750 σου.

[8] Ἐπερώτησον G1905 γὰρ G1063 γενεὰν G1074 πρώτην, G4413 ἐξιχνίασον δὲ G1161 κατὰ G2596 γένος G1085 πατέρων· G3962 [9] χθιζοὶ γάρ G1063 ἐσμεν G2070 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 οἴδαμεν, G1492 σκιὰ G4639 γάρ G1063 ἐστιν G2076 ἡμῶν G2257 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 γῆς G1093 ὁ G3588 βίος. G979 [10] Ἦ G2229 οὐχ G3756 οὗτοί G3778 σε G4571 διδάξουσιν G1321 καὶ G2532 ἀναγγελοῦσιν G312 καὶ G2532 ἐκ G1537 καρδίας G2588 ἐξάξουσιν G1806 ῥήματα; G4487 [11] Μὴ G3361 θάλλει πάπυρος ἄνευ G427 ὕδατος G5204 ἢ G2228 ὑψωθήσεται G5312 βούτομον ἄνευ G427 πότου; G4224 [12] Ἔτι G2089 ὂν G5607 ἐπὶ G1909 ῥίζης G4491 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 θερισθῇ, G2325 πρὸ G4253 τοῦ G3588 πιεῖν G4095 πᾶσα G3956 βοτάνη G1008 οὐχὶ G3780 ξηραίνεται. G3583 [13] Οὕτως G3779 τοίνυν G5106 ἔσται G2071 τὰ G3588 ἔσχατα G2078 πάντων G3956 τῶν G3588 ἐπιλανθανομένων G1950 τοῦ G3588 κυρίου· G2962 ἐλπὶς G1680 γὰρ G1063 ἀσεβοῦς G765 ἀπολεῖται. G622 [14] Ἀοίκητος γὰρ G1063 αὐτοῦ G846 ἔσται G2071 ὁ G3588 οἶκος, G3624 ἀράχνη δὲ G1161 αὐτοῦ G846 ἀποβήσεται G576 ἡ G3588 σκηνή. G4633 [15] Ἐὰν G1437 ὑπερείσῃ τὴν G3588 οἰκίαν G3614 αὐτοῦ, G846 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 στῇ· G2476 ἐπιλαβομένου G1949 δὲ G1161 αὐτοῦ G846 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 ὑπομείνῃ· G5278 [16] ὑγρὸς G5200 γάρ G1063 ἐστιν G2076 ὑπὸ G5259 ἡλίου, G2246 καὶ G2532 ἐκ G1537 σαπρίας αὐτοῦ G846 ὁ G3588 ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ G846 ἐξελεύσεται.
