Job 8:1-7
World English Bible
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 “How long will you speak these things?
Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
3 Does God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
4 If your children have sinned against him,
he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
5 If you want to seek God diligently,
make your supplication to the Almighty.
6 If you were pure and upright,
surely now he would awaken for you,
and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
7 Though your beginning was small,
yet your latter end would greatly increase.

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