Brenton Brenton's English Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said,
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 How long wilt thou speak these things, [how long shall] the breath of thy mouth [be] abundant in words?
2 “How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
3 Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things pervert justice?
3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
4 If thy sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression.
4 If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
5 But be thou early in prayer to the Lord Almighty.
5 If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.
6 If thou art pure and true, he will hearken to thy supplication, and will restore to thee the habitation of righteousness.
6 If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
7 Though then thy beginning should be small, yet thy end should be unspeakably great.
7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.
8 For ask of the former generation, and search diligently among the race of [our] fathers:
8 “Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.
9 (for we are of yesterday, and know nothing; for our life upon the earth is a shadow:)
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)
10 shall not these teach thee, and report [to thee], and bring out words from [their] heart?
10 Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
11 Does the rush flourish without water, or shall the flag grow up without moisture?
11 “Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?
12 When it is yet on the root, and [though] it has not been cut down, does not any herb wither before it has received moisture?
12 While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.
13 Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
13 So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,
14 For his house shall be without inhabitants, and his tent shall prove a spider's web.
14 whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.
15 If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: and when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain.
15 He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
16 For it is moist under the sun, and his branch shall come forth out of his dung-heap.
16 He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.
17 He lies down upon a gathering of stones, and shall live in the midst of flints.
17 His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
18 If [God] should destroy [him], his place shall deny him. Hast thou not seen such things,
18 If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
19 that such is the overthrow of the ungodly? and out of the earth another shall grow.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.
20 For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; but he will not receive any gift of the ungodly.
20 “Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
21 But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, and their lips with thanksgiving.
21 He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
22 But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.
22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
