Job Capítulo 8

8 : 1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,

8 : 2 How long will thou speak these things? And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a mighty wind?

8 : 3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

8 : 4 If thy sons have sinned against him, and he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression,

8 : 5 if thou would seek diligently to God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,

8 : 6 if thou were pure and upright, surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

8 : 7 And though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end would greatly increase.

8 : 8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out

8 : 9 (for we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow).

8 : 10 Shall they not teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?

8 : 11 Can the rush grow up without mire? Can a reed grow without water?

8 : 12 While it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, it withers before any other herb.

8 : 13 So are the paths of all who forget God. And the hope of the profane man shall perish,

8 : 14 whose confidence shall break apart, and whose trust is a spider's web.

8 : 15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand. He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.

8 : 16 He is green before the sun, and his shoots go forth over his garden.

8 : 17 His roots are wrapped around the stone heap. He beholds the place of stones.

8 : 18 If he is destroyed from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.

8 : 19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth others shall spring.

8 : 20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, nor will he uphold the evildoers.

8 : 21 He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter, and thy lips with shouting.

8 : 22 Those who hate thee shall be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
