Job 8:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
2
'How long will you say these things,
And the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
3
Does God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?
4
If your sons sinned against Him,
Then He turned them over to the power of their wrongdoing.
5
If you will search for God
And implore the compassion of the Almighty,
6
If you are pure and upright,
Surely now He will stir Himself for you
And restore your righteous estate.
7
Though your beginning was insignificant,
Yet your end will increase greatly.
8
'Please inquire of past generations,
And consider the things searched out by their fathers.
King James Version
Chapter 8
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 betimes, 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.
8
For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
2
How long will you go on saying these things?
Your words are a blast of wind.
3
Does God pervert justice?
Does the Almighty pervert what is right?
4
Since your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to their rebellion.
5
But if you earnestly seek God
and ask the Almighty for mercy,
6
if you are pure and upright,
then he will move even now on your behalf
and restore the home where your righteousness dwells.
7
Then, even if your beginnings were modest,
your final days will be full of prosperity.
8
For ask the previous generation,
and pay attention to what their fathers discovered,
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
2
'How long will you go on like this?
You sound like a blustering wind.
3
Does God twist justice?
Does the Almighty twist what is right?
4
Your children must have sinned against him,
so their punishment was well deserved.
5
But if you pray to God
and seek the favor of the Almighty,
6
and if you are pure and live with integrity,
he will surely rise up and restore your happy home.
7
And though you started with little,
you will end with much.
8
'Just ask the previous generation.
Pay attention to the experience of our ancestors.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
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?
4
If your children have sinned against him,
he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
5
If you will seek God
and plead with the Almighty for mercy,
6
if you are pure and upright,
surely then he will rouse himself for you
and restore your rightful habitation.
7
And 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.
New International Version
Chapter 8
2
"How long will you say such things?
Your words are a blustering wind.
3
Does God pervert justice?
Does the Almighty pervert what is right?
4
When your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.
5
But if you will seek God earnestly
and plead with the Almighty,
6
if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf
and restore you to your prosperous state.
7
Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous will your future be.
8
"Ask the former generation
and find out what their ancestors learned,
New King James Version
Chapter 8
2
“How long will you speak these
things,
And the words of your mouth
be like
a strong wind?
3
Does God subvert judgment?
Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
4
If your sons have sinned against Him,
He has cast them away for their transgression.
5
If you would earnestly seek God
And make your supplication to the Almighty,
6
If you
were
pure and upright,
Surely now He would awake for you,
And prosper your rightful dwelling place.
7
Though your beginning was small,
Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

And consider the things discovered by their fathers;
