Job 8:1-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

² “How long will you say these things?
How long will your words be so windy?
³ Does God distort justice,
or does the Almighty distort righteousness?
⁴ If your children sinned against him,
he allowed them to suffer the consequences of their sinfulness.
⁵ If you search for God
and plead for mercy from the Almighty,
⁶ if you are moral and ethical,
then he will rise up on your behalf
and prove your righteousness by rebuilding your home.
⁷ Then what you had in the past will seem small
compared with the great prosperity you’ll have in the future.
