1 Then answered H6030 Bildad H1085 the Shuhite, H7747 and said, H559
2 How long H5704 H575 wilt thou speak H4448 these H428 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 H518 doth the Almighty H7706 pervert H5791 justice H6664 ?
4 If H518 thy children H1121 have sinned H2398 against him , and he have cast them away H7971 for H3027 their transgression; H6588
5 If H518 thou H859 wouldest seek unto God quickly H7836 H413, H410 and make thy supplication H2603 to H413 the Almighty; H7706
6 If H518 thou H859 wast pure H2134 and upright; H3477 surely H3588 now H6258 he would awake H5782 for H5921 thee , and make the habitation H5116 of thy righteousness H6664 prosperous. H7999
7 Though thy beginning H7225 was H1961 small, H4705 yet thy latter end H319 should greatly H3966 increase. H7685
8 For H3588 inquire, H7592 I pray thee, H4994 of the former H7223 age, H1755 and prepare H3559 thyself to the search H2714 of their fathers: H1
9 ( For H3588 we H587 are but of yesterday, H8543 and know H3045 nothing, H3808 because H3588 our days H3117 upon H5921 earth H776 are a shadow: H6738 )
10 Shall not H3808 they H1992 teach H3384 thee, and tell H559 thee , and utter H3318 words H4405 out of their heart H4480 H3820 ?
11 Can the rush H1573 grow up H1342 without H3808 mire H1207 ? can the flag H260 grow H7685 without H1097 water H4325 ?
12 Whilst it is yet H5750 in his greenness, H3 and not H3808 cut down, H6998 it withereth H3001 before H6440 any H3605 other herb. H2682
13 So H3651 are the paths H734 of all H3605 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 H3808 stand: H5975 he shall hold it fast, H2388 but it shall not H3808 endure. H6965
16 He H1931 is green H7373 before H6440 the sun, H8121 and his branch H3127 shooteth forth H3318 in H5921 his garden. H1593
17 His roots H8328 are wrapped H5440 about H5921 the heap, H1530 and seeth H2372 the place H1004 of stones. H68
18 If H518 he destroy H1104 him from his place H4480 H4725 , then it shall deny H3584 him, saying , I have not H3808 seen H7200 thee.
19 Behold H2005 , this H1931 is the joy H4885 of his way, H1870 and out of the earth H4480 H6083 shall others H312 grow. H6779
20 Behold H2005 , God H410 will not H3808 cast away H3988 a perfect H8535 man , neither H3808 will he help H2388 H3027 the evildoers: 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 place H168 of the wicked H7563 shall come to naught. H369
