Bildad Says God Rewards the Good

Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,

“How long will you say these things,
And the (A)words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
Does (B)God pervert justice?
Or does [a]the Almighty pervert what is right?
(C)If your sons sinned against Him,
Then He turned them over to the [b]power of their wrongdoing.
If you will (D)search for God
And implore the compassion of [c]the Almighty,
If you are pure and upright,
Surely now (E)He will stir Himself for you
And restore your righteous [d](F)estate.
Though your beginning was insignificant,
Yet your (G)end will increase greatly.
