Job 8:1-7
New King James Version
Bildad: Job Should Repent
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long will you speak these things,
And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
3 (A)Does God subvert judgment?
Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If (B)your sons have sinned against Him,
He has cast them away [a]for their transgression.
5 (C)If you would earnestly seek God
And make your supplication to the Almighty,
6 If you were pure and upright,
Surely now He would [b]awake for you,
And prosper your rightful dwelling place.
7 Though your beginning was small,
Yet your latter end would (D)increase abundantly.
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.
