Job 8:5

if thou would seek God early and make thy supplication to the Almighty,

If thou would prepare thine heart and stretch out thine hands toward him;

And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

I would certainly seek God, and unto God would I commit my affairs;

Make up thy friendship now with him, and thou shalt have peace; thereby good shall come unto thee.

Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near:

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you;

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit saith, Today if ye will hear his voice,

Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
