Job 8:5

New International Version

But if you will seek God earnestly and plead with the Almighty,

See the chapter Copy

“Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him,

“Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

“But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.

Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.
