Job 8:1-7

Modern English Version

² “How long will you speak these things,
    and the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
³ Does God pervert judgment?
    Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
⁴ If your children sinned against Him,
    He cast them away for their transgression.
⁵ If you yourself would seek God earnestly,
    and seek favor from the Almighty,
⁶ if you were pure and upright,
    surely now He would rouse Himself on your behalf,
    and He would prosper your righteous dwelling.
⁷ Though your beginning was small,
    your end will increase greatly.
