8:1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said, Compare
8:2How long will you speak these things? / And how long will the words of your mouth be like a mighty wind? Compare
8:3Does God pervert justice? / Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness? Compare
8:4If your children have sinned against Him, / He has delivered them into the hand of their transgression. Compare
8:5If you seek earnestly after God / And make supplication unto the Almighty, Compare
8:6If you are pure and upright, / Then surely He will rouse Himself for you / And restore well-being to your righteous habitation. Compare
8:7And though your beginning was small, / Your end will be very great. Compare
8:8For inquire now of the former generation, / And attend to what their fathers have sought out. Compare
8:9For we are of yesterday and know nothing, / Because our days upon the earth are a shadow. Compare
8:10Will they not teach you and talk to you / And utter forth words from their heart? Compare
8:11Can papyrus shoot up without marsh? / Can reeds grow without water? Compare
8:12While it is still in its greenness and not cut down, / It withers before all other grasses. Compare
8:13So are the paths of all who forget God; / And the hope of the profane perishes, Compare
8:14Whose confidence is cut off, / And whose trust is a spider's web. Compare
8:15He leans upon his house, but it will not stand; / He holds fast to it, but it will not endure. Compare
8:16He is full of sap before the sun, / And his shoots go forth over his garden. Compare
8:17His roots are entwined around a stone heap; / He looks upon a place of stones. Compare
8:18If one destroys him from his place, / Then it denies him, saying, I have not seen you. Compare
8:19Indeed, that is the joy of his way; / And others spring forth out of the dust. Compare
8:20Indeed, God will not reject a perfect man, / Nor will He support evildoers. Compare
8:21He will yet fill your mouth with laughter / And your lips with shouting. Compare
8:22Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, / And the tent of the wicked will be no more. Compare
9:1Then Job answered and said, Compare
9:2I do indeed know that it is so. / But how can a man be righteous before God? Compare
9:3If he is pleased to contend with Him, / He cannot answer Him one thing in a thousand. Compare
9:4He is wise in heart and mighty in strength- / Who has ever resisted Him and come through whole? - Compare
9:5He who removes mountains, and they do not know it, / When He overturns them in His anger; Compare
9:6Who shakes the earth from its place, / And its pillars shake; Compare
9:7Who commands the sun, and it does not rise, / And seals up the stars; Compare
9:8Who alone stretched forth the heavens / And trod upon the heights of the sea; Compare
9:9Who made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, / And the chambers of the south; Compare
9:10Who does great things that cannot be searched, / Indeed, wonderful deeds that cannot be numbered. Compare
9:11Indeed, He passes by me, but I do not see Him; / And He goes by, but I do not perceive Him. Compare
9:12Indeed, He snatches away; who can stop Him? / Who can say to Him, What are You doing? Compare
9:13God does not turn back His anger; / Under Him Rahab's helpers stoop. Compare
9:14How then can I answer Him / And choose my words properly with Him? Compare
9:15I, though righteous, could not answer Him; / I could only plead for mercy before my Judge. Compare
9:16If I called out and He answered me, / I do not believe that He would hearken to my voice. Compare
9:17For He crushes me with a whirlwind / And multiplies my wounds without cause. Compare
9:18He does not permit me to catch my breath, / But fills me with bitterness. Compare
9:19If we speak of strength, indeed, He is mighty! / Or if of judgment, Who, says He, can appoint Me a time? Compare
9:20Though I am righteous, my mouth would condemn me; / Though I am perfect, it would prove me perverse. Compare
9:21I am perfect; I do not regard my soul; / I despise my life. Compare
9:22It is all one; therefore I say, / He destroys the perfect and the wicked. Compare
9:23If some scourge suddenly kills, / He derides the despair of the innocent. Compare
9:24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; / He covers the faces of its judges. / If not He, then who is it? Compare
9:25And my days are swifter than a running messenger; / They flee away, they do not see good; Compare
9:26They go by like reed boats, / Like an eagle swooping on the prey. Compare
9:27If I say, I will forget my complaint, / I will put off my sad countenance and look cheerful; Compare
9:28I fear all my pains: / I know that You will not hold me innocent. Compare
9:29I will be accounted wicked; / Why then do I labor in vain? Compare
9:30If I wash myself with soap / And cleanse my hands with lye, Compare
9:31Yet You will plunge me into the pit, / And my own garments will abhor me. Compare
9:32For He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer Him, / That we should enter into litigation together. Compare
9:33There is no referee between us, / Who may lay his hand upon us both. Compare
9:34Let Him take His rod away from me, / And let not the dread of Him terrify me; Compare
9:35Then I would speak and not be afraid; / For I am not such. Compare
10:1My soul loathes my own life; / I will let my complaint have free course in me; / I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. Compare
10:2I will say to God, Do not account me wicked; / Make known to me why You contend with me. Compare
10:3Does it seem good to You to oppress, / To despise the toil of Your hands / And shine upon the counsel of the wicked? Compare
10:4Do You have eyes of flesh? / Or do You see as a man sees? Compare
10:5Are Your days like the days of a man, / Or Your years like the days of a mighty man, Compare
10:6That You would seek out my iniquity / And search for my sin, Compare
10:7Even though You know that I am not wicked / And that there is none who can deliver out of Your hand? Compare
10:8Your hands have shaped me and made me altogether, / Yet You destroy me. Compare
10:9Remember now that You have made me like clay; / And will You return me to the dust? Compare
10:10Have You not poured me out like milk / And curdled me like cheese? Compare
10:11You have clothed me with skin and flesh / And woven me together with bones and sinews. Compare
10:12You have granted me life and lovingkindness, / And Your visitation has preserved my spirit. Compare
10:13But You have hidden these things in Your heart; / I know that this is with You: Compare
10:14If I sin, You mark me, / And You do not acquit me of my iniquity; Compare
10:15If I am wicked, woe unto me; / If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head, / Being filled with dishonor and looking on my affliction. Compare
10:16And if my head should be lifted up, You would hunt me down like a lion, / And You would again demonstrate wonders on me. Compare
10:17You renew Your witnesses against me / And increase Your anger against me; / Attacking waves and a host are against me. Compare
10:18And why have You brought me out of the womb? / I should have died that no eye had seen me; Compare
10:19I should have been as though I had not been; / I should have been carried from birth to the grave. Compare
10:20Are not my days few? Cease then, / And let me alone, that I may be somewhat revived, Compare
10:21Before I go, and never return, / To the land of darkness and the shadow of death, Compare
10:22The land of gloom like deep darkness, / The shadow of death without order, / Which shines like deep darkness. Compare
11:1Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said, Compare
11:2Should a multitude of words not be answered? / And should a man of much talk be justified? Compare
11:3Shall your empty talk silence men? / And will you mock, and there be none to shame you? Compare
11:4For you say, My doctrine is pure, / And I am clean in Your eyes. Compare
11:5But oh that God would speak / And open His lips to you, Compare
11:6And that He would tell you the secrets of wisdom! / For there are two sides to sound reason. / Know then that God has forgotten some of your iniquity. Compare
11:7Can you find out the depths of God? / Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? Compare
11:8It is the height of heaven-what can you do? / It is deeper than Sheol-what can you know? Compare
11:9Its measure is longer than that of the earth / And broader than the sea. Compare
11:10If He passes by and imprisons / And summons an assembly, who can stop Him? Compare
11:11For He knows men of falsehood, / And He sees iniquity without considering it. Compare
11:12But an empty-headed man acquires intelligence / When the foal of a wild ass is born as a man. Compare
11:13If you would set your heart right / And stretch your hands out to Him - Compare
11:14If there is iniquity in your hand, put it far away, / And do not let wrong dwell in your tents - Compare
11:15Then indeed you would lift up your face without blemish, / And you would be steadfast and would not be afraid. Compare
11:16For you will forget your misery; / You will remember it as waters that have passed away. Compare
11:17And your time here will rise more brightly than the noonday; / Dark though it may be, it will be like the morning. Compare
11:18And you will be secure, for there is hope; / And you will search about and lie down in security. Compare
11:19Indeed you will lie down, and there will be none to terrify you; / And many will entreat your favor. Compare
11:20But the eyes of the wicked will fail, / And fleeing will be lost to them, / And their hope will be to breathe out their life. Compare
