Why does it have strange spelling?
CHAP. VIII.
1 Bildad sheweth Gods iustice, in dealing with men according to their workes. 8 He alledgeth antiquitie to proue the certaine destruction of the Hypocrite. 20 Hee applieth Gods iust dealing to Iob.
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
3 Doth God peruert iudgement? or doth the Almightie peruert iustice?3
4 If thy children haue sinned against him, and he haue cast them away for their transgression:4
5 If thou wouldest seeke vnto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almightie:5
7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy selfe to the search of their fathers.8
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our dayes vpon earth are a shadow.)9
10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, & vtter words out of their heart?
11 Can the rush growe vp without myre? can the flag growe without water?
12 Whilest it is yet in his greennesse, and not cut downe, it withereth before any other herbe.12
13 So are the paths of all that forget God, and the hypocrites hope shall perish:13
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spiders web.14
16 He is greene before the sunne, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
17 His roots are wrapped about the heape, and seeth the place of stones.
18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shal denie him, saying, I haue not seene thee.
19 Beholde, this is the ioy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will hee helpe the euill doers:20
21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with reioycing.21
22 They that hate thee shall be cloathed with shame, and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.22
