Job 23:4

American Standard Version (1901)

I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.

See the chapter Copy

Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I am righteous.

Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth thy cause, that thou mayest be justified.

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

For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

Teach us what we shall say unto him; For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.

And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

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 unto me.

Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.
