Job 8:5
5 But ▼▼ “But” is supplied to show the contrast between this verse and the preceding line.
if you will look ▼ to God, and make your supplication ▼
▼ The verb תִּתְחַנָּן (titkhannan) means “to make supplication; to seek favor; to seek grace” (from חָנַן, khanan). Bildad is saying that there is only one way for Job to escape the same fate as his children – he must implore God’s mercy. Job’s speech had spoken about God’s seeking him and not finding him; but Bildad is speaking of the importance of Job’s seeking God.
to the Almighty,
