Job 8:2-13

Job 8:2-13 AMP

“How long will you say these things? And will the words of your mouth be a mighty wind? “Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness? “If your children have sinned against Him, Then He has handed them over to the power of their transgression and punished them. “If you would [diligently] seek God And implore the compassion and favor of the Almighty, Then, if you are pure and upright, Surely now He will awaken for you And restore your righteous place. “Though your beginning was insignificant, Yet your end will greatly increase. ¶“Inquire, please, of past generations, And consider and apply yourself to the things searched out by their fathers. “For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are [like] a shadow [just a breath or a vapor]. “Will they (the fathers) not teach you and tell you, And utter words from their hearts [the deepest part of their nature]? ¶“Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes or reed grass grow without water? “While it is still green (in flower) and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant [when without water]. “So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless will perish
