Job 8:1-7

New International Reader's Version

² “Job, how long will you talk like that?
    Your words don’t have any meaning.
³ Does God ever treat people unfairly?
    Does the Mighty One make what is wrong
    appear to be right?
⁴ Your children sinned against him.
    So he punished them for their sin.
⁵ But seek God with all your heart.
    Make your appeal to the Mighty One.
⁶ Be pure and honest.
    And he will rise up and help you now.
    He’ll give you everything you had before.
⁷ In the past, things went well with you.
    But in days to come, things will get even better.
