Then answeredH6030 BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and saidH559,
HowH575 longH5704 wilt thou speakH4448 these things? and how long shall the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310 be like a strongH3524 windH7307?
Doth GodH410 pervertH5791 judgmentH4941? or doth the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 justiceH6664?
If thy childrenH1121 have sinnedH2398 against him, and he have cast them awayH7971 forH3027 their transgressionH6588; {for…: Heb. in the hand of their transgression}
If thou wouldest seekH7836 unto GodH410 betimesH7836, and make thy supplicationH2603 to the AlmightyH7706;
If thou wert pureH2134 and uprightH3477; surely now he would awakeH5782 for thee, and make the habitationH5116 of thy righteousnessH6664 prosperousH7999.
Though thy beginningH7225 was smallH4705, yet thy latter endH319 should greatlyH3966 increaseH7685.
For enquireH7592, I pray thee, of the formerH7223+H7223 ageH1755, and prepareH3559 thyself to the searchH2714 of their fathersH1:
(For we are but of yesterdayH8543, and knowH3045 nothing, because our daysH3117 upon earthH776 are a shadowH6738:) {nothing: Heb. not}
Shall not they teachH3384 thee, and tellH559 thee, and utterH3318 wordsH4405 out of their heartH3820?
Can the rushH1573 grow upH1342 without mireH1207? canH7685 the flagH260 growH7685 withoutH1097 waterH4325?
Whilst it is yet in his greennessH3, and not cut downH6998, it witherethH3001 beforeH6440 any other herbH2682.
So are the pathsH734 of all that forgetH7911 GodH410; and the hypocrite'sH2611 hopeH8615 shall perishH6:
Whose hopeH3689 shall be cut offH6990, and whose trustH4009 shall be a spider'sH5908 webH1004. {web: Heb. house}
He shall leanH8172 upon his houseH1004, but it shall not standH5975: he shall holdH2388 it fast, but it shall not endureH6965.
He is greenH7373 beforeH6440 the sunH8121, and his branchH3127 shooteth forthH3318 in his gardenH1593.
His rootsH8328 are wrapped aboutH5440 the heapH1530, and seethH2372 the placeH1004 of stonesH68.
If he destroyH1104 him from his placeH4725, then it shall denyH3584 him, saying, I have not seenH7200 thee.
Behold, this is the joyH4885 of his wayH1870, and out of the earthH6083 shall othersH312 growH6779.
Behold, GodH410 will not cast awayH3988 a perfectH8535 man, neither will he helpH2388+H3027 the evil doersH7489: {help…: Heb. take the ungodly by the hand}
Till he fillH4390 thy mouthH6310 with laughingH7814, and thy lipsH8193 with rejoicingH8643. {rejoicing: Heb. shouting for joy}
They that hateH8130 thee shall be clothedH3847 with shameH1322; and the dwellingH168 place of the wickedH7563 shall come to noughtH369. {shall come…: Heb. shall not be}

Shall mortal manH582 be more justH6663 than GodH433? shall a manH1397 be more pureH2891 than his makerH6213?
What is the AlmightyH7706, that we should serveH5647 him? and what profitH3276 should we have, if we prayH6293 unto him?
I knowH3045 it is so of a truthH551: but how should manH582 be justH6663 with GodH410? {with God: or, before God?}
His eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 his destructionH3589, and he shall drinkH8354 of the wrathH2534 of the AlmightyH7706.
Is it goodH2895 unto thee that thou shouldest oppressH6231, that thou shouldest despiseH3988 the workH3018 of thine handsH3709, and shineH3313 upon the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563? {work: Heb. labour}
Therefore hearkenH8085 unto me, ye menH582 of understandingH3824: far be itH2486 from GodH410, that he should do wickednessH7562; and from the AlmightyH7706, that he should commit iniquityH5766. {men…: Heb. men of heart}
For the workH6467 of a manH120 shall he renderH7999 unto him, and cause every manH376 to findH4672 according to his waysH734.
Yea, surelyH551 GodH410 will not do wickedlyH7561, neither will the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 judgmentH4941.
Behold, I cry outH6817 of wrongH2555, but I am not heardH6030: I cry aloudH7768, but there is no judgmentH4941. {wrong: or, violence}
Shall he that contendethH7378 with the AlmightyH7706 instructH3250 him? he that reprovethH3198 GodH433, let him answerH6030 it.
Yea, surelyH551 GodH410 will not do wickedlyH7561, neither will the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 judgmentH4941.
The king'sH4428 strengthH5797 also lovethH157 judgmentH4941; thou dost establishH3559 equityH4339, thou executestH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in JacobH3290.
Shall even he that hatethH8130 rightH4941 governH2280? and wilt thou condemnH7561 him that is mostH3524 justH6662? {govern: Heb. bind?}
Is it fit to sayH559 to a kingH4428, Thou art wickedH1100? and to princesH5081, Ye are ungodlyH7563?
How much less to him that acceptethH5375 not the personsH6440 of princesH8269, nor regardethH5234 the richH7771 more thanH6440 the poorH1800? for they all are the workH4639 of his handsH3027.
AndG2532 they singG103 the songG5603 of MosesG3475 the servantG1401 of GodG2316, andG2532 the songG5603 of the LambG721, sayingG3004, GreatG3173 andG2532 marvellousG2298 are thyG4675 worksG2041, LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841; justG1342 andG2532 trueG228 are thyG4675 waysG3598, thou KingG935 of saintsG40. {saints: or, nations, or, ages}
Wilt thou also disannulH6565 my judgmentH4941? wilt thou condemnH7561 me, that thou mayest be righteousH6663?
AndG2532 I heardG191 anotherG243 out ofG1537 the altarG2379 sayG3004, Even soG3483, LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841, trueG228 andG2532 righteousG1342 are thyG4675 judgmentsG2920.
That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213 after this mannerH1697, to slayH4191 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563: and that the righteousH6662 should be as the wickedH7563, that be farH2486 from thee: Shall not the JudgeH8199 of all the earthH776 doH6213 rightH4941?
He is the RockH6697, his workH6467 is perfectH8549: for all his waysH1870 are judgmentH4941: a GodH410 of truthH530 and without iniquityH5766, justH6662 and rightH3477 is he.
Wherefore now let the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 be upon you; take heedH8104 and doH6213 it: for there is no iniquityH5766 with the LORDH3068 our GodH430, nor respectH4856 of personsH6440, nor takingH4727 of giftsH7810.
Yet ye sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505. HearH8085 now, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Is not my wayH1870 equalH8505? are not your waysH1870 unequalH8505?
Yet the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505: but as for them, their wayH1870 is not equalH8505.
Yet ye sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505. O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, I will judgeH8199 you every oneH376 after his waysH1870.
JusticeH6664 and judgmentH4941 are the habitationH4349 of thy throneH3678: mercyH2617 and truthH571 shall goH6923 before thy faceH6440. {habitation: or, establishment}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 watchedH8245 upon the evilH7451, and broughtH935 it upon us: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is righteousH6662 in all his worksH4639 which he doethH6213: for we obeyedH8085 not his voiceH6963.
ButG1161 afterG2596 thyG4675 hardnessG4643 andG2532 impenitentG279 heartG2588 treasurest upG2343 unto thyselfG4572 wrathG3709 againstG1722 the dayG2250 of wrathG3709 andG2532 revelationG602 of the righteous judgmentG1341 of GodG2316;
God forbidG3361+G1096: yeaG1161, letG1096 GodG2316 beG1096 trueG227, butG1161 everyG3956 manG444 a liarG5583; asG2531 it is writtenG1125, ThatG3704 thou mightestG302 be justifiedG1344 inG1722 thyG4675 sayingsG3056, andG2532 mightest overcomeG3528 whenG1722 thouG4571 art judgedG2919.
ButG1161 ifG1487 ourG2257 unrighteousnessG93 commendG4921 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316, whatG5101 shall we sayG2046+G3361? Is GodG2316 unrighteousG94 who takethG2018 vengeanceG3709? (I speakG3004 asG2596 a manG444)
God forbidG3361+G1096: for thenG1893 howG4459 shallG2919 GodG2316 judgeG2919 the worldG2889?
