Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 8:1 | And Bildad the Shuhite answered, saying: |
| 8:2 | Until when will you speak these things, since the words of your mouth are like a mighty wind? |
| 8:3 | Or does God pervert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert the right? |
| 8:4 | If your sons have sinned against Him, and if He has sent them away in the hand of their transgression, |
| 8:5 | if you would seek earnestly to God, and make your prayer to the Almighty, |
| 8:6 | if you were pure and upright, surely now He would rise for you, and make whole the abode of your righteousness. |
| 8:7 | And your beginning was small, yet your end would greatly increase. |
| 8:8 | For, I beg you, ask of the former generation, and prepare to the search of their fathers; |
| 8:9 | for we are but of yesterday, and we know nothing because our days on earth are a shadow. |
| 8:10 | Shall they not teach you, and tell you, and bring words out of their heart? |
| 8:11 | Can the rush grow up without mire? Can the reed grass grow without water? |
| 8:12 | While it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, it dries out before every plant. |
| 8:13 | So are the paths of all those forgetting God; and the hope of the ungodly shall perish; |
| 8:14 | whose hope is cut off, and his trust as a spider's house. |
| 8:15 | He shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand; he shall hold fast to it, but it shall not endure. |
| 8:16 | He is moist before the sun, and his branches shoot forth on his garden. |
| 8:17 | His roots are wrapped around a heap; he sees a house of stones. |
| 8:18 | If one destroys him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying I have not seen you! |
| 8:19 | Behold this is the joy of His way, and out of the earth others shall grow. |
| 8:20 | Behold, God will not cast away the innocent, and He will not help the evildoers, |
| 8:21 | until He fills your mouth with laughter, and your lips with rejoicing. |
| 8:22 | Those who hate you shall be clothed with shame; and the tent of the wicked shall not be . |
