Job 8:1-9
English Standard Version
2"How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a great wind?
3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert the right?
4If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
5If you will seek God and plead with the Almighty for mercy,
6if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and restore your rightful habitation.
7And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.
8"For inquire, please, of bygone ages, and consider what the fathers have searched out.
9For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow.
