The verses around Job 8:7.
5If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
8For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
Verse explanation
Bildad promises that Job’s beginning will look small compared to what his end will be, if he corrects himself — almost repeating the structure of Eliphaz’s promises back in chapter 5.
From the Job 8 study in Bible in Stories.
