Bildad Speaks: Job Should Repent

8 Then cBildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2 “How long will you say these things,

and the words of your mouth be a dgreat wind?

3 eDoes God pervert justice?

Or does the Almighty pervert the right?

4 If your fchildren have sinned against him,

he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.

5 If you will seek God

and gplead with the Almighty for mercy,

6 if you are pure and upright,

surely then he will hrouse himself for you

and irestore your rightful habitation.

7 And though your beginning was small,

jyour latter days will be very great.
