THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013494">2</a>. How long wilt thou speak these things?  and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013495">3</a>. Doth God pervert judgment?  or doth the Almighty pervert justice?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013496">4</a>. If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013497">5</a>. If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013498">6</a>. If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013499">7</a>. Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013500">8</a>. For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013501">9</a>. (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013502">10</a>. Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013503">11</a>. Can the rush grow up without mire?  can the flag grow without water?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013504">12</a>. Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013505">13</a>. So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013506">14</a>. Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013507">15</a>. He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013508">16</a>. He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013509">17</a>. His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013510">18</a>. If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013511">19</a>. Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013512">20</a>. Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013513">21</a>. Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013514">22</a>. They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.</li>
