### Bildadâs First Speech to Job
[[#Verse 01.]]Â Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said:
[[#Verse 02.]]Â âHow long will you speak these things,
seeing that the words of your mouth
are like a great wind?
[[#Verse 03.]] Does God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?
[[#Verse 04.]] If your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.
[[#Verse 05.]] But if you will look to God,
and make your supplication to the Almighty,
[[#Verse 06.]] if you become pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself for you,
and will restore your righteous home.
[[#Verse 07.]] Your beginning will seem so small,
since your future will flourish.
[[#Verse 08.]] âFor inquire now of the former generation,
and pay attention to the findings
of their ancestors;
[[#Verse 09.]] For we were born yesterday and do not have knowledge,
since our days on earth are but a shadow.
[[#Verse 10.]] Will they not instruct you and speak to you,
and bring forth words
from their understanding?
[[#Verse 11.]] Can the papyrus plant grow tall where there is no marsh?
Can reeds flourish without water?
[[#Verse 12.]]Â While they are still beginning to flower
and not ripe for cutting,
they can wither away
faster than any grass.
[[#Verse 13.]] Such is the destiny of all who forget God;
the hope of the godless perishes,
[[#Verse 14.]] whose trust is in something futile,
whose security is a spiderâs web.
[[#Verse 15.]]Â He leans against his house but it does not hold up,
he takes hold of it but it does not stand.
[[#Verse 16.]] He is a well-watered plant in the sun,
its shoots spread over its garden.
[[#Verse 17.]]Â It wraps its roots around a heap of stones
and it looks for a place among stones.
[[#Verse 18.]] If he is uprooted from his place,
then that place will disown him, saying,
âI have never seen you!â
[[#Verse 19.]]Â Indeed, this is the joy of his way,
and out of the earth others spring up.
[[#Verse 20.]]Â âSurely, God does not reject a blameless man,
nor does he grasp the hand
of the evildoers.
[[#Verse 21.]] He will yet fill your mouth with laughter,
and your lips with gladness.
[[#Verse 22.]] Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,
and the tent of the wicked will be no more.â
