1 But Baldad the Suhite, responding, said: | 1 Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said: |
2 How long will you speak this way, so that the words of your mouth are like a changeable wind? | 2 How much longer are you going to talk like this and go blustering on in this way? |
3 Does God supplant judgment, or does the Almighty subvert that which is just? | 3 Can God deflect the course of right or Shaddai falsify justice? |
4 And if now your children have sinned against him, and he has dismissed them into the power of their iniquity, | 4 If your sons sinned against him, he has punished them for their wrong-doing. |
5 even so, you should arise early to God, so as to beseech the Almighty. | 5 You for your part, if you are pure and honest, must now seek God, plead with Shaddai. |
6 If you approach with purity and honesty, he will quickly be attentive to you, and a peaceful life will repay your righteousness, | 6 Forthwith his light wil shine on you and he wil restore an upright man's house to prosperity. |
7 so much so that, if your former things were small, your latter things would be multiplied greatly. | 7 Your former state wil seem as nothing to you, so great wil your future be. |
8 For inquire of the earliest generation, and investigate diligently the history of the fathers, | 8 Question the generation that has passed, meditate on the experience of its ancestors- |
9 (of course, we are but of yesterday and are ignorant that our days on earth are like a shadow,) | 9 for we children of yesterday, we know nothing, our life on earth passes like a shadow- |
10 and they will teach you; they will speak with you and will offer you the eloquence of their hearts. | 10 but they wil teach you, they will tel you, and their thought is expressed in these sayings, |
11 Can the marsh plant live without moisture? Or can sedges grow without water? | 11 'Can papyrus flourish except in marshes? Without water can the rushes grow? |
12 When it is still in flower, and has not been pulled up by hand, it withers before all other plants. | 12 Even when green and before being cut, fastest of al plants they wither. |
13 Just so are the ways of all who forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite will perish. | 13 Such is the fate of al who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless. |
14 His frenzy will not please him, and his faith will be like a spider’s web. | 14 His hope is nothing but gossamer, his confidence a spider's web. |
15 He will lean on his house, and it will not stand; he will prop it up, but it will not rise. | 15 Let him lean on his house, it wil not stand firm; cling to it, it wil not hold. |
16 He seems to have moisture before the sun arrives; and at sunrise, his sprout shoots forth. | 16 Like some lush plant in the sunlight, he sent his young shoots sprouting over the garden; |
17 His roots will crowd together over a heap of stones, and among the stones he will remain. | 17 but his roots were twined in a heap of stones, he drew his life among the rocks. |
18 If someone is devoured right beside him, he will deny him and will say: “I do not know you.” | 18 Snatch him from his bed, and it denies it ever saw him. |
19 For this is the benefit of his way, that others in turn may spring up from the earth. | 19 Now he rots on the roadside, and others are springing up in the soil. |
20 God will not discard the simple, nor will he extend his hand to the spiteful, | 20 Believe me, God neither spurns anyone of integrity, nor lends his aid to the evil. |
21 even until your mouth is filled with laughter and your lips with rejoicing. | 21 Once again laughter may fil your mouth and cries of joy break from your lips. |
22 Those who hate you, will be clothed with confusion, and the tabernacle of the impious will not continue. | 22 Your enemies will be covered with shame and the tent of the wicked wil vanish!' |
