Job 8:6
if you become pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself for you, and will restore your righteous abode.
-
Job 22:5-30
Is not your wickedness great and is there no end to your iniquity?“ For you took pledges from your brothers for no reason, and you stripped the clothing from the naked.You gave the weary no water to drink and from the hungry you withheld food.Although you were a powerful man, owning land, an honored man living on it,you sent widows away empty-handed, and the arms of the orphans you crushed.That is why snares surround you, and why sudden fear terrifies you,why it is so dark you cannot see, and why a flood of water covers you.“ Is not God on high in heaven? And see the lofty stars, how high they are!But you have said,‘ What does God know? Does he judge through such deep darkness?Thick clouds are a veil for him, so he does not see us, as he goes back and forth in the vault of heaven.’Will you keep to the old path that evil men have walked–men who were carried off before their time, when the flood was poured out on their foundations?They were saying to God,‘ Turn away from us,’ and‘ What can the Almighty do to us?’But it was he who filled their houses with good things– yet the counsel of the wicked was far from me.The righteous see their destruction and rejoice; the innocent mock them scornfully, saying,‘ Surely our enemies are destroyed, and fire consumes their wealth.’“ Reconcile yourself with God, and be at peace with him; in this way your prosperity will be good.Accept instruction from his mouth and store up his words in your heart.If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; if you remove wicked behavior far from your tent,and throw your gold in the dust– your gold of Ophir among the rocks in the ravines–then the Almighty himself will be your gold, and the choicest silver for you.Surely then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face toward God.You will pray to him and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows to him.Whatever you decide on a matter, it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.When people are brought low and you say‘ Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast;he will deliver even someone who is not innocent, who will escape through the cleanness of your hands.”

Job 25:2-6
“ Dominion and awesome might belong to God; he establishes peace in his heights.Can his armies be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?How then can a human being be righteous before God? How can one born of a woman be pure?If even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure as far as he is concerned,how much less a mortal man, who is but a maggot– a son of man, who is only a worm!”
