Job 8 Verses
1
|
Are you finally through with your windy speech? |
3
|
God never twists justice; he never fails to do what is right. |
4
|
Your children must have sinned against God, and so he punished them as they deserved. |
5
|
But turn now and plead with Almighty God; |
6
|
if you are so honest and pure, then God will come and help you and restore your household as your reward. |
7
|
All the wealth you lost will be nothing compared with what God will give you then. |
8
|
Look for a moment at ancient wisdom; consider the truths our ancestors learned. |
9
|
Our life is short, we know nothing at all; we pass like shadows across the earth. |
10
|
But let the ancient wise people teach you; listen to what they had to say: |
11
|
"Reeds can't grow where there is no water; they are never found outside a swamp. |
12
|
If the water dries up, they are the first to wither, while still too small to be cut and used. |
13
|
Godless people are like those reeds; their hope is gone, once God is forgotten. |
14
|
They trust a thread---a spider's web. |
15
|
If they lean on a web, will it hold them up? If they grab for a thread, will it help them stand?" |
16
|
Evil people sprout like weeds in the sun, like weeds that spread all through the garden. |
17
|
Their roots wrap around the stones and hold fast to every rock. |
18
|
But then pull them up--- no one will ever know they were there. |
19
|
Yes, that's all the joy evil people have; others now come and take their places. |
20
|
But God will never abandon the faithful or ever give help to evil people. |
21
|
He will let you laugh and shout again, |
22
|
but he will bring disgrace on those who hate you, and the homes of the wicked will vanish. |
