1 Then answered Bildad [confusing by mingling love] the Shuchi [wealth], and said,

2 How long will youi speak these [things]? and [how long shall] the words of youi mouth [be like] a strong wind?

3 Does God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?

4 If youi children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;

5 If youi would seek unto God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] early, and make youi supplication to the Almighty;

6 If youi [were] pure and upright; surely now he would awake for youi, and make the habitation of youi righteousness prosperous.

7 Though youi beginning was small, yet youi latter end should greatly increase.

8 For enquire, I pray youi, of the former age, and prepare yourself to the search of their fathers:

9 (For we [are but of] yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth [are] a shadow)

10 Shall not they teach youi, [and] tell youi, and utter words out of their heart?

11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?

12 Whilst it [is] yet in his greenness, [and] not cut down, it withers before any [other] herb.

13 So [are] the paths of all that forget God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:

14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust [shall be] a spider’s web.

15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

16 He [is] green before the sun, and his branch shoots forth in his garden.

17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, [and] sees the place of stones.

18 If he destroy him from his place, then [it] shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen youi.

19 Behold, this [is] the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.

20 Behold, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] will not cast away a perfect [man], neither will he help the evil doers:

21 Till he fill youi mouth with laughing, and youi lips with rejoicing.

22 They that hate youi shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nothing.
