Cuvântarea lui Bildad
8 Bildad din Şuah a luat cuvântul şi a zis:
2 „Până când vrei să vorbeşti astfel
şi până când vor fi cuvintele gurii tale ca un vânt puternic?
3 Oare va răsturna(A) Dumnezeu dreptul?
Sau va răsturna Cel Atotputernic dreptatea?
4 Dacă fiii tăi au păcătuit(B) împotriva Lui,
i-a dat pe mâna păcatului.
5 Dar tu, dacă(C) alergi la Dumnezeu,
dacă rogi pe Cel Atotputernic,
6 dacă eşti curat şi fără prihană,
atunci, negreşit, El va veghea asupra ta
şi va da înapoi fericirea locuinţei tale nevinovate.
7 Vechea ta propăşire va fi mică
faţă de cea de mai târziu.
Învăţăminte din păţania celor dinainte
8 Întreabă(D) pe cei din neamurile trecute
şi ia aminte la păţania părinţilor lor.
9 Căci noi(E) suntem de ieri şi nu ştim nimic,
zilele noastre pe pământ nu sunt decât o umbră.
10 Ei te vor învăţa, îţi vor vorbi
şi vor scoate din inima lor aceste cuvinte:
11 ‘Creşte papura fără baltă?
Creşte trestia fără umezeală?’
12 Fiind încă(F) verde şi fără să se taie,
ea se usucă mai repede decât toate ierburile.
13 Aşa se întâmplă tuturor celor ce uită pe Dumnezeu,
şi nădejdea(G) celui nelegiuit va pieri.
14 Încrederea lui este zdrobită,
şi sprijinul lui este o pânză de păianjen.
15 Se bizuie(H) pe casa lui, dar nu este tare;
se prinde de ea, dar nu ţine.
16 Cum dă soarele, înverzeşte,
îşi întinde ramurile peste grădina sa,
17 îşi împleteşte rădăcinile printre pietre,
pătrunde până în ziduri.
18 Dar, dacă-l smulgi(I) din locul în care stă,
locul acesta se leapădă de el şi zice:
‘Nu ştiu să te fi cunoscut vreodată!’
19 Iată, aşa sunt desfătările pe care i le aduc căile vieţii lui;
apoi din(J) acelaşi pământ răsar alţii după el.
20 Nu, Dumnezeu nu leapădă pe omul fără prihană
şi nu ocroteşte pe cei răi.
21 Ba încă, El îţi umple gura cu strigăte de bucurie
şi buzele cu cântări de veselie.
22 Vrăjmaşii tăi vor fi acoperiţi(K) de ruşine,
iar cortul celor răi va pieri.”

Bildad
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “How long will you say such things?(B)
Your words are a blustering wind.(C)
3 Does God pervert justice?(D)
Does the Almighty pervert what is right?(E)
4 When your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.(F)
5 But if you will seek God earnestly
and plead(G) with the Almighty,(H)
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf(I)
and restore you to your prosperous state.(J)
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous(K) will your future be.(L)
8 “Ask the former generation(M)
and find out what their ancestors learned,
9 for we were born only yesterday and know nothing,(N)
and our days on earth are but a shadow.(O)
10 Will they not instruct(P) you and tell you?
Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?(Q)
11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh?(R)
Can reeds(S) thrive without water?
12 While still growing and uncut,
they wither more quickly than grass.(T)
13 Such is the destiny(U) of all who forget God;(V)
so perishes the hope of the godless.(W)
14 What they trust in is fragile[a];
what they rely on is a spider’s web.(X)
15 They lean on the web,(Y) but it gives way;
they cling to it, but it does not hold.(Z)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots(AA) over the garden;(AB)
17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
and looks for a place among the stones.
18 But when it is torn from its spot,
that place disowns(AC) it and says, ‘I never saw you.’(AD)
19 Surely its life withers(AE) away,
and[b] from the soil other plants grow.(AF)

Bildad: Job Should Repent
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long will you speak these things,
And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
3 (A)Does God subvert judgment?
Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If (B)your sons have sinned against Him,
He has cast them away [a]for their transgression.
5 (C)If you would earnestly seek God
And make your supplication to the Almighty,
6 If you were pure and upright,
Surely now He would [b]awake for you,
And prosper your rightful dwelling place.
7 Though your beginning was small,
Yet your latter end would (D)increase abundantly.
8 “For(E) inquire, please, of the former age,
And consider the things discovered by their fathers;
9 For (F)we were born yesterday, and know [c]nothing,
Because our days on earth are a shadow.
10 Will they not teach you and tell you,
And utter words from their heart?
11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the reeds flourish without water?
12 (G)While it is yet green and not cut down,
It withers before any other plant.
13 So are the paths of all who (H)forget God;
And the hope of the (I)hypocrite shall perish,
14 Whose confidence shall be cut off,
And whose trust is [d]a spider’s web.
15 (J)He leans on his house, but it does not stand.
He holds it fast, but it does not endure.
16 He grows green in the sun,
And his branches spread out in his garden.
17 His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
18 (K)If he is destroyed from his place,
Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
19 “Behold, this is the joy of His way,
And (L)out of the earth others will grow.
20 Behold, (M)God will not [e]cast away the blameless,
Nor will He uphold the evildoers.
21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughing,
And your lips with [f]rejoicing.
22 Those who hate you will be (N)clothed with shame,
And the dwelling place of the wicked [g]will come to nothing.”

Bildad Speaks: Job Should Repent
8 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long will you say these things,
and the words of your mouth be a (B)great wind?
3 (C)Does God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert the right?
4 If your (D)children have sinned against him,
he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
5 If you will seek God
and (E)plead with the Almighty for mercy,
6 if you are pure and upright,
surely then he will (F)rouse himself for you
and (G)restore your rightful habitation.
7 And though your beginning was small,
(H)your latter days will be very great.
8 “For (I)inquire, please, of bygone ages,
and consider what (J)the fathers have searched out.
9 For we are but of yesterday and know nothing,
for our days on earth are (K)a shadow.
10 Will they not teach you and tell you
and utter words out of their understanding?
11 “Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh?
Can reeds flourish where there is no water?
12 While yet in flower and not cut down,
they (L)wither before any other plant.
13 Such are the paths of all who (M)forget God;
(N)the hope of (O)the godless shall perish.
14 His confidence is severed,
and his trust is (P)a spider's web.[a]
15 He leans against his (Q)house, but it does not stand;
he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
16 He is a lush plant before the sun,
and his (R)shoots spread over his garden.
17 His roots entwine the stone heap;
he looks upon a house of stones.
18 If he is destroyed from his (S)place,
then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never (T)seen you.’
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way,
and out of (U)the soil others will spring.
20 “Behold, God will not reject a blameless man,
nor take the hand of evildoers.
21 He will yet (V)fill your mouth with laughter,
and your lips with shouting.
22 Those who hate you will be (W)clothed with shame,
and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
