Job 8:3-6

3 aDoes God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert the right?
4If your bchildren have sinned against him,
he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
5If you will seek God
and cplead with the Almighty for mercy,
6if you are pure and upright,
surely then he will drouse himself for you
and erestore your rightful habitation.

Isaiah 24:5-6

5The earth lies fdefiled
under its inhabitants;
for gthey have transgressed the laws,
violated the statutes,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6Therefore ha curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants isuffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
and few men are left.
