8 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:
2 Usquequo loqueris talia, et spiritus multiplex sermones oris tui?
3 Numquid Deus supplantat judicium? aut Omnipotens subvertit quod justum 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 justitiae tuae,
7 in tantum ut si 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 crescere 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 ejus.
15 Innitetur super domum suam, et non stabit; fulciet eam, et non consurget.
16 Humectus videtur antequam veniat sol, et in ortu suo germen ejus egredietur.
17 Super acervum petrarum radices ejus 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 ejus, ut rursum de terra alii germinentur.
20 Deus non projiciet simplicem, nec porriget manum malignis,
21 donec impleatur risu os tuum, et labia tua jubilo.
22 Qui oderunt te induentur confusione, et tabernaculum impiorum non subsistet.

Bildad Speaks: Job Should Repent
8 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long will you say these things,
and the words of your mouth be a (B)great wind?
3 (C)Does God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert the right?
4 If your (D)children have sinned against him,
he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
5 If you will seek God
and (E)plead with the Almighty for mercy,
6 if you are pure and upright,
surely then he will (F)rouse himself for you
and (G)restore your rightful habitation.
7 And though your beginning was small,
(H)your latter days will be very great.
8 “For (I)inquire, please, of bygone ages,
and consider what (J)the fathers have searched out.
9 For we are but of yesterday and know nothing,
for our days on earth are (K)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 (L)wither before any other plant.
13 Such are the paths of all who (M)forget God;
(N)the hope of (O)the godless shall perish.
14 His confidence is severed,
and his trust is (P)a spider's web.[a]
15 He leans against his (Q)house, but it does not stand;
he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
16 He is a lush plant before the sun,
and his (R)shoots spread over his garden.
17 His roots entwine the stone heap;
he looks upon a house of stones.
18 If he is destroyed from his (S)place,
then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never (T)seen you.’
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way,
and out of (U)the soil others will spring.
20 “Behold, God will not reject a blameless man,
nor take the hand of evildoers.
21 He will yet (V)fill your mouth with laughter,
and your lips with shouting.
22 Those who hate you will be (W)clothed with shame,
and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”

Bildad
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “How long will you say such things?(B)
Your words are a blustering wind.(C)
3 Does God pervert justice?(D)
Does the Almighty pervert what is right?(E)
4 When your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.(F)
5 But if you will seek God earnestly
and plead(G) with the Almighty,(H)
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf(I)
and restore you to your prosperous state.(J)
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous(K) will your future be.(L)
8 “Ask the former generation(M)
and find out what their ancestors learned,
9 for we were born only yesterday and know nothing,(N)
and our days on earth are but a shadow.(O)
10 Will they not instruct(P) you and tell you?
Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?(Q)
11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh?(R)
Can reeds(S) thrive without water?
12 While still growing and uncut,
they wither more quickly than grass.(T)
13 Such is the destiny(U) of all who forget God;(V)
so perishes the hope of the godless.(W)
14 What they trust in is fragile[a];
what they rely on is a spider’s web.(X)
15 They lean on the web,(Y) but it gives way;
they cling to it, but it does not hold.(Z)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots(AA) over the garden;(AB)
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(AC) it and says, ‘I never saw you.’(AD)
19 Surely its life withers(AE) away,
and[b] from the soil other plants grow.(AF)
