Job 8

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said,

2 How long wilt thou speak these things, the breath of thy mouth abundant in words?

3 Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things pervert justice?

4 If thy sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression.

5 But be thou early in prayer to the Lord Almighty.

6 If thou art pure and true, he will hearken to thy supplication, and will restore to thee the habitation of righteousness.

7 Though then thy beginning should be small, yet thy end should be unspeakably great.

8 For ask of the former generation, and search diligently among the race of fathers:

9 (for we are of yesterday, and know nothing; for our life upon the earth is a shadow:)

10 shall not these teach thee, and report , and bring out words from heart?

11 Does the rush flourish without water, or shall the flag grow up without moisture?

12 When it is yet on the root, and it has not been cut down, does not any herb wither before it has received moisture?

13 Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

14 For his house shall be without inhabitants, and his tent shall prove a spider's web.

15 If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: and when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain.

16 For it is moist under the sun, and his branch shall come forth out of his dung-heap.

17 He lies down upon a gathering of stones, and shall live in the mist of flints.

18 If should destroy , his place shall deny him. Hast thou not seen such things,

19 that such is the overthrow of the ungodly? and out of the earth another shall grow.

20 For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; but he will not receive any gift of the ungodly.

21 But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, and their lips with thanksgiving.

22 But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.

New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:

2 "How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a great wind?

3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert the right?

4 If your children sinned against him, he delivered them into the power of their transgression.

5 If you will seek God and make supplication to the Almighty,

6 if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and restore to you your rightful place.

7 Though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.

8 "For inquire now of bygone generations, and consider what their ancestors have found;

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

10 Will they not teach you and tell you and utter words out of their understanding?

11 "Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Can reeds flourish where there is no water?

12 While yet in flower and not cut down, they wither before any other plant.

13 Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless shall perish.

14 Their confidence is gossamer, a spider's house their trust.

15 If one leans against its house, it will not stand; if one lays hold of it, it will not endure.

16 The wicked thrive before the sun, and their shoots spread over the garden.

17 Their roots twine around the stoneheap; they live among the rocks.

18 If they are destroyed from their place, then it will deny them, saying, "I have never seen you.'

19 See, these are their happy ways, and out of the earth still others will spring.

20 "See, God will not reject a blameless person, nor take the hand of evildoers.

21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouts of joy.

22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more."
