Makatarungan ang Diyos
8 Ito naman ang sagot ni Bildad na Suhita:
2 “Hanggang kailan ka magsasalita ng ganyan,
mga salitang parang hangin at walang kabuluhan?
3 Hindi pinipilipit ng Diyos ang katarungan;
hindi binabaluktot ng Makapangyarihan ang katuwiran.
4 Maaaring nagkasala sa Diyos ang iyong mga anak,
kaya't ibinigay niya sa kanila ang parusang nararapat.
5 Ngunit kung ikaw ay lalapit at makiusap sa Diyos na Makapangyarihan,
6 kung ikaw ay talagang tapat, at malinis ang kalooban,
tutulungan ka ng Diyos;
gagantimpalaan at ibabalik niya ang iyong sambahayan.
7 Maliit na bagay ang mga nawala mong kayamanan,
kung ihahambing ang sa iyo'y kanyang ibibigay.
8 “Alamin(A) mo ang mga nagdaang kasaysayan,
itanong sa matatanda ang kaalamang natuklasan.
9 Buhay nati'y maikli lang, at kaalaman nati'y kulang;
parang anino lamang tayong dumaan sa ibabaw ng sanlibutan.
10 Pakaisipin mo ang kanilang mga aral,
ang kanilang sinasabi ay iyong pakinggan.
11 “Ang halaman sa tubigan ay di mabubuhay,
kundi sa matubig at malamig na lugar lamang.
12 Ito'y unang nalalanta kapag ito ay natuyuan,
kahit bagong tubo pa lang at di pa napuputulan.
13 Ganyan ang katulad ng mga taong walang Diyos,
pag-asa ay mawawala kapag ang Diyos ay nilimot.
14 Ang mga bagay na pinagkakatiwalaan nila'y kasingrupok lamang ng sapot ng gagamba.
15 Kapag ito'y sinandalan, agad itong nalalagot,
kapag ito'y hinawakan, tiyak itong masisira.
16 “Ang masasamang tao'y parang damong nagsusulputan,
tulad ng masamang damong kumakalat sa halamanan.
17 Bumabalot sa mga bato ang kanilang mga ugat,
at sa bawat bato sila'y humahawak.
18 Ngunit kapag sila'y nabunot sa kinatatamnan,
wala nang nakakaalala sa dati nilang kalagayan.
19 Ganyan ang kasiyahan ng masasamang tao,
may iba namang lilitaw at kukuha ng kanilang puwesto.
20 “Hindi pababayaan ng Diyos ang mabuting tao,
ngunit sa masama'y hindi siya sasaklolo.
21 Patatawanin ka niya at pasisigawin sa tuwa,
22 ngunit ang mga kaaway mo'y kanyang ipapahiya,
at ang tahanan ng masasama ay ganap na mawawala.”

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.”
