Job 8:6

PurityPrayer

4 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,

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.

8 Please inquire of past generations and consider the discoveries of their fathers.
