Job 8
Reading Job chapter 8 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long wilt thou speak these [things]? and [how long shall] the words of thy mouth [be like] a strong wind?
3 Doth God pervert judgment; or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he hath cast them away for their transgression;
5 If thou wouldst seek to God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6 If thou [wert] pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end would greatly increase.
8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9 (For we [are but of] yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth [are] a shadow:)
10 Will they not teach thee, [and] tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
