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}

And it was so, when the daysH3117 of their feastingH4960 were gone aboutH5362, that JobH347 sentH7971 and sanctifiedH6942 them, and rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 according to the numberH4557 of them all: for JobH347 saidH559, It may beH194 that my sonsH1121 have sinnedH2398, and cursedH1288 GodH430 in their heartsH3824. Thus didH6213 JobH347 continuallyH3117. {continually: Heb. all the days}
While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 were eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196 in their eldestH1060 brother'sH251 houseH1004:
And, behold, there cameH935 a greatH1419 windH7307 fromH5676 the wildernessH4057, and smoteH5060 the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the houseH1004, and it fellH5307 upon the young menH5288, and they are deadH4191; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. {from…: Heb. from aside, etc}
His childrenH1121 are farH7368 from safetyH3468, and they are crushedH1792 in the gateH8179, neither is there any to deliverH5337 them.
His rootsH8328 shall be dried upH3001 beneath, and aboveH4605 shall his branchH7105 be cut offH5243.
His remembranceH2143 shall perishH6 from the earthH776, and he shall have no nameH8034 in the streetH6440+H2351.
He shall be drivenH1920 from lightH216 into darknessH2822, and chasedH5074 out of the worldH8398. {He…: Heb. They shall drive him}
He shall neither have sonH5209 nor nephewH5220 among his peopleH5971, nor any remainingH8300 in his dwellingsH4033.
But the menH582 of SodomH5467 were wickedH7451 and sinnersH2400 before the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH3966.
For weH587 will destroyH7843+H853 this placeH4725, because the cry of themH6818 is waxen greatH1431 beforeH854 the faceH6440 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 us to destroyH7843 it.
And LotH3876 went outH3318, and spakeH1696 unto his sons in lawH2860, which marriedH3947 his daughtersH1323, and saidH559, UpH6965, get you outH3318 of this placeH4725; for the LORDH3068 will destroyH7843 this cityH5892. But he seemed as one that mockedH6711 untoH5869 his sons in lawH2860.
And whenH3644 the morningH7837 aroseH5927, then the angelsH4397 hastenedH213 LotH3876, sayingH559, AriseH6965, takeH3947 thy wifeH802, and thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323, which are hereH4672; lest thou be consumedH5595 in the iniquityH5771 of the cityH5892. {are here: Heb. are found} {iniquity: or, punishment}
And while he lingeredH4102, the menH582 laid holdH2388 upon his handH3027, and upon the handH3027 of his wifeH802, and upon the handH3027 of his twoH8147 daughtersH1323; the LORDH3068 being mercifulH2551 unto him: and they brought him forthH3318, and set himH3240 withoutH2351 the cityH5892.
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forthH3318 abroadH2351, that he saidH559, EscapeH4422 forH5921 thy lifeH5315; lookH5027 not behind theeH310, neither stayH5975 thou in all the plainH3603; escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lest thou be consumedH5595.
And LotH3876 saidH559 unto them, Oh, not so, my LordH113:
Behold now, thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, and thou hast magnifiedH1431 thy mercyH2617, which thou hast shewedH6213 unto meH5978 in savingH2421 my lifeH5315; and I cannotH3201 escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lest some evilH7451 takeH1692 me, and I dieH4191:
Behold now, this cityH5892 is nearH7138 to fleeH5127 unto, and itH1931 is a little oneH4705: Oh, let me escapeH4422 thither, (is it not a little oneH4705?) and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421.
And he saidH559 unto him, SeeH2009, I have acceptedH5375 theeH6440 concerning this thingH1697 also, that I will not overthrowH2015 this cityH5892, for the whichH834 thou hast spokenH1696. {thee: Heb. thy face}
HasteH4116 thee, escapeH4422 thither; for I cannotH3201 doH6213 any thingH1697 till thou be comeH935 thither. Therefore the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121 ZoarH6820. {Zoar: that is, Little}
