Job 8:1-7
21st Century King James Version
8 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said:
2 “How long wilt thou speak these things? And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
3 Doth God pervert judgment? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If thy children have sinned against Him and He have cast them away for their transgression,
5 if thou wouldest seek unto God speedily and make thy supplication to the Almighty,
6 if thou wert pure and upright, surely now He would awake for thee and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

Job 8:1-7
American Standard Version
8 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long wilt thou speak these things?
And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a mighty wind?
3 Doth God pervert justice?
Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?
4 [a]If thy children have sinned against him,
And he hath delivered them into the hand of their transgression;
5 If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God,
And make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6 If thou wert pure and upright:
Surely now he would awake for thee,
And make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7 And though thy beginning was small,
Yet thy latter end would greatly increase.
