Job 8:19

Bildad's First Response To Job

¹⁸ If he is uprooted from his place,
it will deny knowing him, saying, “I never saw you.”
¹⁹ Surely this is the joy of his way of life;
yet others will sprout from the dust.
²⁰ Look, God does not reject a person of integrity,
and He will not support evildoers.

and I will do it.
