Bildad Questions Job |
Job 8:1-22 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks] |
Then, Bildad, the Shuhite, answered & said, How long will you speak these things? And how long shall the words [from] your mouth be like a strong wind? Does God [divert] judgment or does the Almighty [divert] justice? |
If your children have sinned against [God] & He cast them away, because of their transgression; if you [would have sought] God [beforehand] & made your [request] to the Almighty & you were pure & upright, surely He would now [wake up] for you & make [the place of] your righteousness prosperous. |
[Although] your beginning was [insignificant, still] your end should increase greatly. For I pray [that] you [inquire of those older] & prepare to [find out about] their [forefathers.] (For we know nothing, [except for] yesterday, because our days upon earth are [like] a shadow.) |
[Won't] they teach you & tell you & [share the] words out of their [hearts?] Can the [papyrus] grow without [the marsh?] Can the [reeds] grow without water? While it’s [still] green & not cut down, it withers before other [plants.] |
The paths of all [who] forget God, [are the same] & the hypocrite's hope shall perish, whose hope shall be cut off & whose trust shall be [like] a spider's web. [Mark 7:6-7 He answered & said to them, [Isaiah,] has prophesied well of you hypocrites, [like] it is written, The people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. [However,] they do worship Me in vain, teaching [as] doctrines, the commandments of men.] |
[The spider] shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand. He shall hold it [tight,] but it shall not endure. |
[Psalm 49:10-12 For he sees that wise men die & [also] the fool & the [senseless] person perishes & leave their wealth to others. Their thought [within them] is that their houses shall continue forever & their dwelling places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names. [Still] man, being in honor [doesn’t stay,] he is like the [creatures] that perish.] |
[The spider] is green [in front of] the sun & his branch shoots [out] in his garden. [Its] roots are wrapped [around a rock] heap & [the spider] sees the [hiding] place [in the rocks.] If [God destroys] him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I haven't seen you. |
[Matthew 10: 32-33 Therefore, [whoever] shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father, [Who] is in heaven. Therefore, [whoever] shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father, [Who] is in heaven.] |
[Look,] this is the joy of His way & others shall grow out of the earth. [See,] God won't cast away a [blameless] man, [nor] will He help [those who do] evil; [until God fills] your mouth with laughing & your lips with rejoicing. |
[Those who] hate you, shall be clothed with shame & the dwelling place of the wicked, shall come to [nothing.] [Psalm 109:29 Let my [enemies] be clothed with shame & let them cover themselves with their own confusion, [like] with a [coat.] |
