Bildad Shows God's Justice to the Good

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