BILDAD ANSWERS
And Bildad the Shuachiy answers and says, 2 Until when utter you these? - the sayings of your mouth so much wind? 3 El - twists he judgment? Or Shadday - twists he justness? 4 If your children sin against him and he sends them away by the hand of their rebellion; 5 if you seek El early and seek charism of Shadday; 6 if you are pure and straight; surely now he wakes for you and shalams the habitation of rest of your justness. 7 Though your beginning be little, yet your finality mightily increases. 8 I beseech you, enquire of the first age; prepare yourself to the probing of their fathers; 9 - for we are of yesterday and know naught, because our days on earth are a shadow. 10 Teach they not and say to you? - and utter utterances from their heart? 11 Rises the rush without mire? Increases the bulrush without water? 12 While it is yet in unripeness and not plucked, it withers at the face of any herb. 13 Thus are the paths of all who forget El; and the hope of the profaner destructs 14 - whose hope is cut off and whose confidence is the house of a spider. 15 He leans on his house, and it stands not; he strengthens, and it rises not: 16 he is moist at the face of the sun and his sprout shoots forth in his garden: 17 his roots entwine around the heap and see the house of stones. 18 If he is swallowed from his place, then they deny saying, I see you not. 19 Behold the joy of his way, and others sprout from the dust. 20 Behold, El neither spurns the integrious, nor strengthens the hand of the vilifiers; 21 until he fills your mouth with laughing and your lips with shouting; 22 and they who hate you enrobe with shame; and the tent of the wicked comes to nought.
