Job 23:5

American Standard Version (1901)

I would know the words which he would answer me, And understand what he would say unto me.

See the chapter Copy

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me.

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

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
