Job 8:1-7

New Century Version

² “How long will you say such things?
    Your words are no more than wind.
³ God does not twist justice;
    the Almighty does not make wrong what is right.
⁴ Your children sinned against God,
    and he punished them for their sins.
⁵ But you should ask God for help
    and pray to the Almighty for mercy.
⁶ If you are good and honest,
    he will stand up for you
    and bring you back where you belong.
⁷ Where you began will seem unimportant,
    because your future will be so successful.
