1 Then Bildad from Shuah replied ⌊to Job⌋,
2 “How long will you say these things?How long will your words be so windy?
3 Does God distort justice,or does the Almighty distort righteousness?
4 If your children sinned against him,he allowed them to suffer the consequences of their sinfulness.
5 If you search for Godand plead for mercy from the Almighty,
6 if you are moral and ethical,then he will rise up on your behalfand prove your righteousness by rebuilding your home.
7 Then what you had in the past will seem smallcompared with the great prosperity you’ll have in the future.
