Job 8:1-10

New International Version NIV

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 “How long will you say such things? Your words are a blustering wind.

3 Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?

4 When your children sinned against him, he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.

5 But if you will seek God earnestly and plead with the Almighty,

6 if you are pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore you to your prosperous state.

7 Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.

8 “Ask the former generation and find out what their ancestors learned,

9 for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow.

10 Will they not instruct you and tell you? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?
