Job Chapter 8

 Job 8

The first submission from a friend, Bilhad

1 Bilhad the Shuhite answered, and said:

2 where is the texts/spoken verbiage of the SPIRIT? They are mighty/vast, as long as they are utterances from HIS mouth.

3 can anyone pervert/wrestle the verdicts of the Mighty ONE over the overpowering/mighty-burly-one (El shadday)? Can anyone pervert/wrestle HIS Justification?

4 if your children had sinned and a hand was sent out because of the crime/revolt, 

5 - the Mighty ONE over the overpowering one (Ela shadday), can (still) show mercy for a (new)-dawn- 

6 - you could awake/stir up HIS Justification (tsedeq), if you are clean and upright, and your habitation will be in safety;

7 If you are petty/small at first, your latter end can be greatly enlarged. 

8  so, as a FATHER: ask about the former generation, and by a research into former things, you can establish and - 

9 - know things from yester/past days, when the earth was a comfortable place (shade), 

10 why would you go out to say fearful words that are in your mind?

11 without water to be gulped up, will there be a swampy/marshy place? And how will meadow-grass grow up and be tall/high?.. 

12 ... If the green-herbs are cut down and wither in the face of the same FATHER. 

13 when the main-leader (el) is a hypocrite, he will mislay the path of hope and get lost:

14 if households are still contending/quarrelling over trust/security, they are like a loin/pelvis upon a spider-web. 

15 for that household to rise up, they will lean upon someone who is standing up and strongly fasten upon him.

16 when Nursing person goes out, Sun will be blamed for the moisture on her face.

17 Those who could envision the dense/entwined roots, and the heap of stones of houses; - 

18 - can deny to see those places destroyed/done away with:

19 so that later on, there will be joy on the way, from the things that sprout up on the dust of the earth. 

20 however, if the main-leader (el) was a pious man, his hands would be strengthened to abhor doing evil, 

21 and his mouth will be full of laughter, and his lips with acclamation of joy (teruah). 

22 but the wicked who hate him in his tent, for nothing (sake), will be clothed with shame.
