Job 8:4

² “How long will you go on saying such things? The words of your mouth are a blustering wind.

When your children sinned against Him, He gave them over to their rebellion.

⁵ But if you would earnestly seek God and ask the Almighty for mercy,

⁶ if you are pure and upright, even now He will rouse Himself on your behalf and restore your righteous estate.
