Job 8:1-9 ▼

2 How long wilt thou speak these things, how long shall the breath of thy mouth be abundant in words?

3 Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things pervert justice?

4 If thy sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression.

6 If thou art pure and true, he will hearken to thy supplication, and will restore to thee the habitation of righteousness.

7 Though then thy beginning should be small, yet thy end should be unspeakably great.
