“How long will you say these things?

And will the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

Or does [fn]the Almighty pervert righteousness?

And implore the compassion and favor of the Almighty,

Then, if you are pure and upright,

Surely now He will awaken for you

And restore your righteous place.

Yet your end will greatly increase.

Can the rushes or reed grass grow without water?

Yet it withers before any other plant [when without water].

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:13 -

“So are the paths of all who forget God;

And the hope of the godless will perish,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:14 -

For his confidence is fragile and breaks,

And his trust is [like] a spider’s web.

“He trusts in his house, but it does not stand;

He holds tightly to it, but it does not endure.

And his branches spread out over his garden.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:17 -

“His [godless] roots are wrapped around a pile of rocks,

And he gazes at a house of stones.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:18 -

“If he is snatched from his place [in the garden],

Then his place will forget him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:19 -

“Behold, this is the joy of His way;

And from out of the dust others will spring up and grow [to take his place].

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:20 -

“Behold, God will not reject a man of integrity,

Nor will He strengthen or support evildoers.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:21 -

“He will yet fill your mouth with laughter

And your lips with joyful shouting [if you are found blameless].

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:22 -

“Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,

And the tents of the wicked will be no longer.”
