Job 8
| Berean Standard Bible tier 2 | Smith–Van Dyck tier 2 |

| BSB 1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: | SVD 1 فَأَجَابَ بِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَقَالَ: |
| BSB 2 “How long will you go on saying such things? The words of your mouth are a blustering wind. | SVD 2 «إِلَى مَتَى تَقُولُ هَذَا، وَتَكُونُ أَقْوَالُ فِيكَ رِيحًا شَدِيدَةً؟ |
| BSB 3 Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right? | SVD 3 هَلِ ٱللهُ يُعَوِّجُ ٱلْقَضَاءَ، أَوِ ٱلْقَدِيرُ يَعْكِسُ ٱلْحَقَّ؟ |
| BSB 4 When your children sinned against Him, He gave them over to their rebellion. | SVD 4 إِذْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَيْهِ بَنُوكَ، دَفَعَهُمْ إِلَى يَدِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ. |
| BSB 5 But if you would earnestly seek God and ask the Almighty for mercy, | SVD 5 فَإِنْ بَكَّرْتَ أَنْتَ إِلَى ٱللهِ وَتَضَرَّعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْقَدِيرِ، |
| BSB 6 if you are pure and upright, even now He will rouse Himself on your behalf and restore your righteous estate. | SVD 6 إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ زَكِيًّا مُسْتَقِيمًا، فَإِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ يَتَنَبَّهُ لَكَ وَيُسْلِمُ مَسْكَنَ بِرِّكَ. |
| BSB 7 Though your beginnings were modest, your latter days will flourish. | SVD 7 وَإِنْ تَكُنْ أُولَاكَ صَغِيرَةً فَآخِرَتُكَ تَكْثُرُ جِدًّا. |
| BSB 8 Please inquire of past generations and consider the discoveries of their fathers. | SVD 8 «اِسْأَلِ ٱلْقُرُونَ ٱلْأُولَى وَتَأَكَّدْ مَبَاحِثَ آبَائِهِمْ، |
| BSB 9 For we were born yesterday and know nothing; our days on earth are but a shadow. | SVD 9 لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ مِنْ أَمْسٍ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ، لِأَنَّ أَيَّامَنَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ظِلٌّ. |
| BSB 10 Will they not teach you and tell you, and speak from their understanding? | SVD 10 فَهَلَّا يُعْلِمُونَكَ؟ يَقُولُونَ لَكَ، وَمِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ يُخْرِجُونَ أَقْوَالًا قَائِلِينَ: |
| BSB 11 Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water? | SVD 11 هَلْ يَنْمِي ٱلْبَرْدِيُّ فِي غَيْرِ ٱلْغَمَقَةِ، أَوْ تَنْبُتُ ٱلْحَلْفَاءُ بِلَا مَاءٍ؟ |
| BSB 12 While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up more quickly than grass. | SVD 12 وَهُوَ بَعْدُ فِي نَضَارَتِهِ لَمْ يُقْطَعْ، يَيْبَسُ قَبْلَ كُلِّ ٱلْعُشْبِ. |
| BSB 13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish. | SVD 13 هَكَذَا سُبُلُ كُلِّ ٱلنَّاسِينَ ٱللهَ، وَرَجَاءُ ٱلْفَاجِرِ يَخِيبُ، |
| BSB 14 His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web. | SVD 14 فَيَنْقَطِعُ ٱعْتِمَادُهُ، وَمُتَّكَلُهُ بَيْتُ ٱلْعَنْكَبُوتِ! |
| BSB 15 He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure. | SVD 15 يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَلَا يَثْبُتُ. يَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ فَلَا يَقُومُ. |
| BSB 16 He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden. | SVD 16 هُوَ رَطْبٌ تُجَاهَ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَعَلَى جَنَّتِهِ تَنْبُتُ خَرَاعِيبُهُ. |
| BSB 17 His roots wrap around the rock heap; he looks for a home among the stones. | SVD 17 وَأُصُولُهُ مُشْتَبِكَةٌ فِي ٱلرُّجْمَةِ، فَتَرَى مَحَلَّ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ. |
| BSB 18 If he is uprooted from his place, it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’ | SVD 18 إِنِ ٱقْتَلَعَهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ، يَجْحَدُهُ قَائِلًا: مَا رَأَيْتُكَ! |
| BSB 19 Surely this is the joy of his way; yet others will spring from the dust. | SVD 19 هَذَا هُوَ فَرَحُ طَرِيقِهِ، وَمِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ يَنْبُتُ آخَرُ. |
| BSB 20 Behold, God does not reject the blameless, nor will He strengthen the hand of evildoers. | SVD 20 «هُوَذَا ٱللهُ لَا يَرْفُضُ ٱلْكَامِلَ، وَلَا يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ. |
| BSB 21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with a shout of joy. | SVD 21 عِنْدَمَا يَمْلَأُ فَاكَ ضَحِكًا، وَشَفَتَيْكَ هُتَافًا، |
| BSB 22 Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.” | SVD 22 يَلْبَسُ مُبْغِضُوكَ خِزْيًا، أَمَّا خَيْمَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَلَا تَكُونُ». |
