Douay Bible - Job Chapter 8

Job 8:1
The Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:

Job 8:2
How long wilt thou speak these things, and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

Job 8:3
Doth God pervert judgment, or doth the almighty overthrow that which is just?

Job 8:4
Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity:

Job 8:5
Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:

Job 8:6
If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake onto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable:

Job 8:7
Insomuch, that if thy former things were small, thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly.

Job 8:8
For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers:

Job 8:9
(For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow:)

Job 8:10
And they shall teach thee: they shall speak to thee, and utter words out of their hearts.

Job 8:11
Can the rush be green without moisture? or a sedge-bush grow without water?

Job 8:12
When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs.

Job 8:13
Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish:

Job 8:14
His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider’s web.

Job 8:15
He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise:

Job 8:16
He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh, and at his rising his blossom shall shoot forth.

Job 8:17
His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones, and among the stones he shall abide.

Job 8:18
If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not.

Job 8:19
For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth.

Job 8:20
God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the evildoer:

Job 8:21
Until thy mouth be filled with laughter, and thy lips with rejoicing.

Job 8:22
They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the dwelling of the wicked shall not stand.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe
