Job 8:5

PrayerRepentance

3 Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?

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

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.

7 Though your beginnings were modest, your latter days will flourish.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
