Job 8

The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA

1 respondens autem Baldad Suites dixit

2 usquequo loqueris talia et spiritus multiplex sermones oris tui

3 numquid Deus subplantat iudicium et Omnipotens subvertit quod iustum est

4 etiam si filii tui peccaverunt ei et dimisit eos in manu iniquitatis suae

5 tu tamen si diluculo consurrexeris ad Deum et Omnipotentem fueris deprecatus

6 si mundus et rectus incesseris statim evigilabit ad te et pacatum reddet habitaculum iustitiae tuae

7 in tantum ut priora tua fuerint parva et novissima tua multiplicentur nimis

8 interroga enim generationem pristinam et diligenter investiga patrum memoriam

9 hesterni quippe sumus et ignoramus quoniam sicut umbra dies nostri sunt super terram

10 et ipsi docebunt te loquentur tibi et de corde suo proferent eloquia

11 numquid vivere potest scirpus absque humore aut crescet carectum sine aqua

12 cum adhuc sit in flore nec carpatur manu ante omnes herbas arescit

13 sic viae omnium qui obliviscuntur Deum et spes hypocritae peribit

14 non ei placebit vecordia sua et sicut tela aranearum fiducia eius

15 innitetur super domum suam et non stabit fulciet eam et non consurget

16 humectus videtur antequam veniat sol et in horto suo germen eius egreditur

17 super acervum petrarum radices eius densabuntur et inter lapides commorabitur

18 si absorbuerit eum de loco suo negabit eum et dicet non novi te

19 haec est enim laetitia viae eius ut rursum de terra alii germinentur

20 Deus non proiciet simplicem nec porriget manum malignis

21 donec impleatur risu os tuum et labia tua iubilo

22 qui oderunt te induentur confusione et tabernaculum impiorum non subsistet

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?

11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh? Can reeds thrive without water?

12 While still growing and uncut, they wither more quickly than grass.

13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless.

14 What they trust in is fragile ; what they rely on is a spider’s web.

15 They lean on the web, but it gives way; they cling to it, but it does not hold.

16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden;

17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks and looks for a place among the stones.

18 But when it is torn from its spot, that place disowns it and says, ‘I never saw you.’

19 Surely its life withers away, and from the soil other plants grow.

20 “Surely God does not reject one who is blameless or strengthen the hands of evildoers.

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

22 Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tents of the wicked will be no more.”
