[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.”

[1] Then answeredH6030(QalImpf) BildadH1085 the Shuhite,H7747 and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] HowH575 longH5704 wilt thou speakH4448(PielImpf) these [things]? and [how long shall] the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310 [be like] a strongH3524 wind?H7307 [3] Doth GodH410 pervertH5791(PielImpf) judgment?H4941 or doth the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791(PielImpf) justice?H6664 [4] If thy childrenH1121 have sinnedH2398(QalPerf) against him, and he have cast them awayH7971(PielImpf) forH3027 their transgression;H6588 [5] If thou wouldest seekH7836 unto GodH410 betimes,H7836(PielImpf) and make thy supplicationH2603(HithImpf) to the Almighty;H7706 [6] If thou [wert] pureH2134 and upright;H3477 surely now he would awakeH5782(HiphImpf) for thee, and make the habitationH5116 of thy righteousnessH6664 prosperous.H7999(PielPerf) [7] Though thy beginningH7225 was small,H4705 yet thy latter endH319 should greatlyH3966 increase.H7685(QalImpf) [8] For enquire,H7592(QalImpv) I pray thee, of the formerH7223(Qere) age,H1755 and prepareH3559(PoleImpv) thyself to the searchH2714 of their fathers:H1 [9] (For we [are but of] yesterday,H8543 and knowH3045(QalImpf) nothing, because our daysH3117 upon earthH776 [are] a shadow:H6738) [10] Shall not they teachH3384(HiphImpf) thee, [and] tellH559(QalImpf) thee, and utterH3318(HiphImpf) wordsH4405 out of their heart?H3820 [11] Can the rushH1573 grow upH1342(QalImpf) without mire?H1207 canH7685 the flagH260 growH7685(QalImpf) withoutH1097 water?H4325 [12] Whilst it [is] yet in his greenness,H3 [and] not cut down,H6998(NiphImpf) it witherethH3001(QalImpf) beforeH6440 any [other] herb.H2682 [13] So [are] the pathsH734 of all that forgetH7911(QalActPtc) God;H410 and the hypocrite’sH2611 hopeH8615 shall perish:H6(QalImpf) [14] Whose hopeH3689 shall be cut off,H6990(QalImpf) and whose trustH4009 [shall be] a spider’sH5908 web.H1004 [15] He shall leanH8172(NiphImpf) upon his house,H1004 but it shall not stand:H5975(QalImpf) he shall holdH2388(HiphImpf) it fast, but it shall not endure.H6965(QalImpf) [16] He [is] greenH7373 beforeH6440 the sun,H8121 and his branchH3127 shooteth forthH3318(QalImpf) in his garden.H1593 [17] His rootsH8328 are wrapped aboutH5440(PualImpf) the heap,H1530 [and] seethH2372(QalImpf) the placeH1004 of stones.H68 [18] If he destroyH1104(PielImpf) him from his place,H4725 then [it] shall denyH3584(PielPerf) him, [saying], I have not seenH7200(QalPerf) thee. [19] Behold, this [is] the joyH4885 of his way,H1870 and out of the earthH6083 shall othersH312 grow.H6779(QalImpf) [20] Behold, GodH410 will not cast awayH3988(QalImpf) a perfectH8535 [man], neither will he helpH2388(HiphImpf) the evil doers:H7489(HiphPtc) [21] Till he fillH4390(PielImpf) thy mouthH6310 with laughing,H7814 and thy lipsH8193 with rejoicing.H8643 [22] They that hateH8130(QalActPtc) thee shall be clothedH3847(QalImpf) with shame;H1322 and the dwellingH168 place of the wickedH7563 shall come to nought.H369
