Bildad Questions Job |
Job 8:1-22 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks] |
Then, Bildad, the Shuhite, answered & said, How long will you speak these things? And how long shall the words [from] your mouth be like a [blustery] wind? Does God [divert] judgment or does the Almighty [divert] justice? |
If your children [had] sinned against [God] & He cast them away, because of their transgression; if you [would have sought] God [beforehand] & made your [request] to the Almighty & you were pure & upright, surely He would now [wake up] for you & make [the place of] your righteousness prosperous. |
[Although] your beginning was [insignificant,] your end should increase greatly. I pray [that] you [inquire of those older] & prepare to [find out about] their [forefathers] [to see what they learned.] (For we know nothing, [except for] yesterday, because our days upon earth are [like] a shadow.) |
[Won't] they teach you & tell you & [express the] words of their [hearts?] Can the [papyrus] grow without the [marsh?] Can the [reeds] grow without water? While it is [still] green & not cut down, it withers before other [plants.] |
The paths of all [who] forget God, [are the same] & the hypocrite's hope shall perish, whose hope shall be cut off & whose trust shall be [like] a spider's web. [Psalm 112:10 The wicked shall see it & be grieved & he shall gnash his teeth & melt away. The desire of the wicked shall perish.] |
[The spider] shall lean upon his house, but it [won't remain unchanged.] He shall hold [on tight,] but it shall not endure. |
[Psalm 49:10-11 For he sees that wise men die & [also] the fool & the [senseless] person perishes & leave their wealth to others. Their thought [within them] is that their houses shall continue forever & their dwelling places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names.] |
[The spider looks] green [in the sunlight] & [clings to] his branch [that] shoots [out] in his garden. [Its] roots are wrapped [around a rock] heap & [the spider] sees the [hiding] place [in the[rocks.] If [God] destroys him from his place, it shall deny him, saying then, I haven't seen you. |
[Matthew 10: 32-33 Therefore, [whoever] shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father, [Who] is in heaven. Therefore, [whoever] shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father, [Who] is in heaven.] |
[Look,] this is the joy of His way & others shall grow out of the earth. [See,] God won't cast away a [blameless] man, [nor] will He help [those who do] evil; [until God fills] your mouth with laughing & your lips with rejoicing. |
[Those who] hate you, shall be clothed with shame & the dwelling place of the wicked, shall come to [nothing.] [Psalm 109:29 Let my [enemies] be clothed with shame & let them cover themselves with their own confusion, [like] with a [coat.] |
