KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Then
answered
Bildad the Shuhite ,
and said,
And
Bildad the Shuhite answereth
and saith:
--
How
long
wilt
thou speak these things? and how
long
shall
the
words
of
thy
mouth
be
like
a strong wind?
Till
when
dost
thou speak these things? And a strong wind --
sayings
of
thy
mouth
?
Doth God pervert judgment? or
doth the Almighty
pervert justice?
Doth God pervert judgment? And
doth the Mighty
One
pervert justice?
If thy children
have sinned against
him, and he have
cast
them away for
their transgression ;
If thy sons
have sinned before
Him, And He doth
send
them away ,
By
the
hand
of
their transgression ,
If thou wouldest
seek unto God betimes
, and make
thy
supplication
to
the Almighty;
If thou dost
seek early
unto God, And unto
the Mighty
makest
supplication,
If thou
wert
pure and upright ;
surely now he would
awake
for thee, and make
the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous
.
If pure and upright thou
`art',
Surely now He waketh
for thee, And hath
completed
The habitation of thy righteousness.
Though
thy beginning was
small, yet
thy latter end should
greatly
increase
.
And
thy beginning hath
been
small, And
thy latter end is
very
great
.
For enquire
, I pray thee ,
of the
former age
, and prepare thyself
to the
search of their fathers :
For, ask
I pray thee of a
former generation
, And prepare to a
search of their fathers ,
(For we
are
but
of yesterday, and know nothing
, because
our days upon
earth are
a
shadow:
)
(For of yesterday we
`are'
, and we
know not
, For
a
shadow
`are'
our days on
earth .
)
Shall
not
they teach
thee ,
and
tell
thee, and utter
words
out
of
their heart?
Do
they not
shew
thee --
speak
to
thee, And from
their heart bring
forth
words
?
Can
the
rush grow
up
without mire? can
the
flag
grow
without water?
`Doth
a
rush wise
without mire? A
reed
increase
without water?
Whilst
it is yet
in his
greenness,
and
not
cut
down
, it
withereth
before any other
herb.
While
it `
is '
in its
budding
--
uncropt
, Even
before any herb it
withereth
.
So are the paths of all that
forget
God ;
and the hypocrite's
hope shall
perish :
So `
are '
the paths of all forgetting
God ,
And the hope of
the
profane
doth
perish ,
Whose hope
shall
be
cut
off
, and whose
trust
shall
be
a spider's
web
.
Whose confidence
is
loathsome
, And the
house
of
a spider
his
trust
.
He shall
lean
upon
his house ,
but
it shall
not stand
: he shall
hold it fast,
but
it shall
not endure
.
He leaneth
on
his house --
and
it standeth
not: He taketh
hold on
it --
and
it abideth
not.
He is green
before the sun, and his
branch
shooteth
forth
in
his garden.
Green
he `
is '
before the sun, And over
his garden his
branch
goeth
out
.
His roots are wrapped about
the
heap
, and
seeth
the
place
of stones.
By
a
heap
his roots are wrapped, A
house
of stones he
looketh
for
.
If he
destroy him from his place, then it shall
deny
him, saying,
I have not seen thee .
If `one'
doth
destroy him from his place, Then it hath
feigned
concerning
him, I have not seen thee !
Behold
, this is the joy of his way, and out
of
the earth
shall
others grow
.
Lo
, this `
is '
the joy of his way, And from
the dust
others spring
up
. '
Behold
, God will
not cast
away
a
perfect man
, neither
will
he
help
the evil doers :
Lo
, God doth
not reject
the
perfect, Nor
taketh
hold
on
the hand
of
evil doers .
Till
he fill
thy mouth with
laughing
, and thy lips with rejoicing.
While
he filleth
with
laughter
thy mouth, And thy lips with shouting,
They
that
hate
thee shall
be
clothed
with
shame ;
and the dwelling
place
of the wicked shall
come
to
nought.
Those
hating
thee do
put
on
shame ,
And the tent
of the wicked is
not!
