Job 8:1-7

Common English Bible

² How long will you mouth such things
    such that your utterances become a strong wind?
³ Does God pervert justice,
    or does the Almighty distort what is right?
⁴ If your children sinned against him,
    then he delivered them into the power of their rebellion.
⁵ If you will search eagerly for God,
    plead with the Almighty.
⁶ If you are pure and do the right thing,
    then surely he will become active on your behalf
    and reward your innocent dwelling.
⁷ Although your former state was ordinary,
    your future will be extraordinary.
