Job 8
Reading Job chapter 8 in the Young's Literal Translation, public-domain text from 1898.
Verses 1–10
1 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --
2 Till when dost thou speak these things? And a strong wind--sayings of thy mouth?
3 Doth God pervert judgment? And doth the Mighty One pervert justice?
4 If thy sons have sinned before Him, And He doth send them away, By the hand of their transgression,
5 If thou dost seek early unto God, And unto the Mighty makest supplication,
6 If pure and upright thou art , Surely now He waketh for thee, And hath completed The habitation of thy righteousness.
7 And thy beginning hath been small, And thy latter end is very great.
8 For, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to a search of their fathers,
9 (For of yesterday we are , and we know not, For a shadow are our days on earth.)
10 Do they not shew thee--speak to thee, And from their heart bring forth words?
