18:008:002 How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind? 18:008:003 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? 18:008:004 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; 18:008:005 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; 18:008:006 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. 18:008:007 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. 18:008:008 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: 18:008:009 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:) 18:008:010 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? 18:008:011 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water? 18:008:012 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb. 18:008:013 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: 18:008:014 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web. 18:008:015 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. 18:008:016 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. 18:008:017 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones. 18:008:018 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee. 18:008:019 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. 18:008:020 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers: 18:008:021 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. 18:008:022 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. 18:009:001 Then Job answered and said, 18:009:002 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? 18:009:003 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. 18:009:004 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? 18:009:005 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. 18:009:006 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 18:009:007 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
