1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, Cross refs
2 How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind? Cross refs
3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? Cross refs
4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; Cross refs
5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; Cross refs
6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. Cross refs
7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. Cross refs
8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: Cross refs
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:) Cross refs
10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? Cross refs
11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water? Cross refs
12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb. Cross refs
13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: Cross refs
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web. Cross refs
15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. Cross refs
16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. Cross refs
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones. Cross refs
18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee. Cross refs
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. Cross refs
20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers: Cross refs
21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. Cross refs
22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. Cross refs
