New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 7
20 "Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?
21 "Why then do You not pardon my transgression And take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will seek me, but I will not be."
Job 8
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 "How long will you say these things, And the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
3 "Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?
4 "If your sons sinned against Him, Then He delivered them into the power of their transgression.
5 "If you would seek God And implore the compassion of the Almighty,
6 If you are pure and upright, Surely now He would rouse Himself for you And restore your righteous estate.
7 "Though your beginning was insignificant, Yet your end will increase greatly.
8 "Please inquire of past generations, And consider the things searched out by their fathers.
9 "For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are as a shadow.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
