## Text

[1] Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: [2] “How long will you go on saying such things?
The words of your mouth 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 their rebellion. [5] But if you would earnestly seek God
and ask the Almighty for mercy, [6] if you are pure and upright,
even now He will rouse Himself on your behalf
and restore your righteous estate. [7] Though your beginnings were modest,
your latter days will flourish. [8] Please inquire of past generations
and consider the discoveries of their fathers. [9] For we were born yesterday and know nothing;
our days on earth are but a shadow. [10] Will they not teach you and tell you,
and speak from their understanding? [11] Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh?
Do reeds flourish without water? [12] While the shoots are still uncut,
they dry up quicker than grass. [13] Such is the destiny of all who forget God;
so the hope of the godless will perish. [14] His confidence is fragile;
his security is in a spider’s web. [15] He leans on his web, but it gives way;
he holds fast, but it does not endure. [16] He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots over the garden. [17] His roots wrap around the rock heap;
he looks for a home among the stones. [18] If he is uprooted from his place,
it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’ [19] Surely this is the joy of his way;
yet others will spring from the dust. [20] Behold, God does not reject the blameless,
nor will He strengthen the hand of evildoers. [21] He will yet fill your mouth with laughter,
and your lips with a shout of joy. [22] Your enemies will be clothed in shame,
and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
