Job 23:4

American King James Version (1999)

I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

And you said, I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

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

Teach us what we shall say to him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.

For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare you, that you may be justified.
