Then Bildad from Shuah answered: |
2
|
"How long will you talk like that? Your words are nothing but hot air! |
3
|
God is always fair. God All-Powerful does what is right. |
4
|
If your children sinned against God, he punished them. They paid for their sins. |
5
|

10

"Can papyrus grow tall on a dry land? Can reeds grow without water? |
12

They have put their trust in something weak. It is like a spider's web. |
15
|
When they lean against it, it will break. When they reach out for it, it will not hold them up. |
16
|
Such people are like a vine that gets plenty of water and sunshine, and its branches spread throughout the garden. |
17
|
Its roots spread among the rocks, searching for good soil. |
18
|
But if you move it, it will die, and no one can tell it was ever there. |
19
|
Everything might have been going well, but another vine will take its place. |
20
|
God does not support evil people, and he does not abandon the innocent. |
21
|
So perhaps you might laugh again. Maybe shouts of joy will come from your lips. |
22
|
Maybe your enemies will be humiliated and the homes of the wicked destroyed." |
