Job 8

Verses of Job 8 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 - "How long will you say such things? Your words are a blustering wind.
3 - Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?
4 - When your children sinned against him, he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.
5 - But if you will look to God and plead with the Almighty,
6 - if you are pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore you to your rightful place.
7 - Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.
8 - "Ask the former generations and find out what their fathers learned,
9 - for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow.
10 - Will they not instruct you and tell you? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?
11 - Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh? Can reeds thrive without water?
12 - While still growing and uncut, they wither more quickly than grass.
13 - Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless.
14 - What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on is a spider's web.
15 - He leans on his web, but it gives way; he clings to it, but it does not hold.
16 - He is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden;
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 it and says, 'I never saw you.'
19 - Surely its life withers away, and from the soil other plants grow.
20 - "Surely God does not reject a blameless man or strengthen the hands of evildoers.
21 - He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.
22 - Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tents of the wicked will be no more."
