Job - douay rheims

Chapter 8

¹ The Baldad the Suhite answered, 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 overthrow that which is just?
⁴ Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity:
⁵ Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:
⁶ If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake onto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable:
⁷ Insomuch, that if thy former things were small, thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly.
⁸ For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers:
⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow:)
¹⁰ And they shall teach thee: they shall speak to thee, and utter words out of their hearts.
¹¹ Can the rush be green without moisture? or a sedge-bush grow without water?
¹² When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs.
¹³ Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish:
¹⁴ His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider's web.
¹⁵ He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise:
¹⁶ He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh, and at his rising his blossom shall shoot forth.
¹⁷ His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones, and among the stones he shall abide.
¹⁸ If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not.
¹⁹ For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth.
²⁰ God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the evildoer:
²¹ Until thy mouth be filled with laughter, and thy lips with rejoicing.
²² They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the dwelling of the wicked shall not stand.

Chapter 8

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?
¹¹ Can the rush grow without mire? can the flag grow without water?
¹² Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
¹³ So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
¹⁴ Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
¹⁵ He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
¹⁶ He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
¹⁷ His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
¹⁸ If he shall destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
¹⁹ Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
²⁰ Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
²¹ Till he shall fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
²² They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to naught.

Chapter 8

¹ Bildad the Shuhite answered,
² long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
³ God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
⁴ your children have sinned against him, He has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
⁵ you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.
⁶ you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
⁷ your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.
⁸ inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.
⁹ we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)
¹⁰ they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
¹¹ the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?
¹² it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.
¹³ are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man shall perish,
¹⁴ confidence shall break apart, Whose trust is a spider's web.
¹⁵ shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand. He shall cling to it, but it shall not endure.
¹⁶ is green before the sun. His shoots go forth over his garden.
¹⁷ roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
¹⁸ he is destroyed from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, 'I have not seen you.'
¹⁹ this is the joy of his way: out of the earth, others shall spring.
²⁰ God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
²¹ will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
²² who hate you shall be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked shall be no more."

Chapter 8

¹ And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
² How long wilt thou speak these things? and the words of thy mouth be a strong wind?
³ Doth ùGod pervert judgment, and the Almighty pervert justice?
⁴ If thy children have sinned against him, he hath also given them over into the hand of their transgression.
⁵ If thou seek earnestly unto ùGod, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,
⁶ If thou be pure and upright, surely now he will awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous;
⁷ And though thy beginning was small, yet thine end shall be very great.
⁸ For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and attend to the researches of their fathers;
⁹ For we are [but] of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days upon earth are a shadow.
¹⁰ Shall not they teach thee, [and] tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
¹¹ Doth the papyrus shoot up without mire? doth the reed-grass grow without water?
¹² Whilst it is yet in its greenness [and] not cut down, it withereth before any [other] grass.
¹³ So are the paths of all that forget ùGod; and the profane man's hope shall perish,
¹⁴ Whose confidence shall be cut off, and his reliance is a spider's web.
¹⁵ He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand; he shall lay hold on it, but it shall not endure.
¹⁶ He is full of sap before the sun, and his sprout shooteth forth over his garden;
¹⁷ His roots are entwined about the stoneheap; he seeth the place of stones.
¹⁸ If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him: I have not seen thee!
¹⁹ Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust shall others grow.
²⁰ Behold, ùGod will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand.
²¹ Whilst he would fill thy mouth with laughing and thy lips with shouting,
²² They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked be no more.

⁴ If thy children have sinned against him, And he hath delivered them into the hand of their transgression;

⁷ And though thy beginning was small, Yet thy latter end would greatly increase.
⁸ For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out:
⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);
¹⁰ Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, And utter words out of their heart?
¹¹ Can the rush grow up without mire? Can the flag grow without water?
¹² Whilst it is yet in its greenness, [and] not cut down, It withereth before any [other] herb.
¹³ So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:
¹⁴ Whose confidence shall break in sunder, And whose trust is a spider's web.
¹⁵ He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.
¹⁶ He is green before the sun, And his shoots go forth over his garden.
¹⁷ His roots are wrapped about the [stone] -heap, He beholdeth the place of stones.
¹⁸ If he be destroyed from his place, Then it shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen thee.
¹⁹ Behold, this is the joy of his way; And out of the earth shall others spring.
²⁰ Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.
²¹ He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter, And thy lips with shouting.
²² They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.

Chapter 8

¹ Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
² How long will you say these things, and how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
³ Does God give wrong decisions? or is the Ruler of all not upright in his judging?
⁴ If your children have done evil against him, then their punishment is from his hand.
⁵ If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;
⁶ If 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.
⁷ And though your start was small, your end will be very great.
⁸ Put 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:)
¹⁰ Will they not give you teaching, and say words of wisdom to you?
¹¹ Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?
¹² When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.
¹³ So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:
¹⁴ Whose support is cut off, and whose hope is no stronger than a spider's thread.
¹⁵ He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.
¹⁶ He is full of strength before the sun, and his branches go out over his garden.
¹⁷ His roots are twisted round the stones, forcing their way in between them.
¹⁸ If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you.
¹⁹ Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.
²⁰ Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.
²¹ The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
²² Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.
