Job 8:5 Context
3Doth God peruert iudgement? or doth the Almightie peruert iustice? 4If thy children haue sinned against him, and he haue cast them away for their transgression: 5If thou wouldest seeke vnto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almightie: 6If thou wert pure and vpright, surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousnes prosperous. 7Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
