Job 23:5

A Conservative Version

I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

See the chapter Copy

I will say to God, Do not condemn me. Show me why thou contend with me.

I would set my case in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would give heed to me.
