Job 8 — KJVA
8Verse 1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,Verse 2How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?Verse 3Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?Verse 4If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;+Verse 5If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;Verse 6If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.Verse 7Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.Verse 8For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:Verse 9(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)+Verse 10Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?Verse 11Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?Verse 12Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.Verse 13So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:Verse 14Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web.+Verse 15He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.Verse 16He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.Verse 17His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.Verse 18If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.Verse 19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.Verse 20Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:++Verse 21Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.+Verse 22They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.+
