1Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

2How long will you say these things, and how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

3Does God give wrong decisions? or is the Ruler of all not upright in his judging?

4If your children have done evil against him, then their punishment is from his hand.

5If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;

6If you are clean and upright; then he will certainly be moved to take up your cause, and will make clear your righteousness by building up your house again.

7And though your start was small, your end will be very great.

8Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:

9(For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade:)

10Will they not give you teaching, and say words of wisdom to you?

11Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?

12When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.

13So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:

14Whose support is cut off, and whose hope is no stronger than a spider's thread.

15He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.

16He is full of strength before the sun, and his branches go out over his garden.

17His roots are twisted round the stones, forcing their way in between them.

18If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you.

19Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.

20Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.

21The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

22Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.
