Job 8:5

Bible in Basic English 1965

If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;

See the chapter Copy

But if you put your heart right, stretching out your hands to him;

Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.

But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:

Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.
