Job 23:4

American Standard Version 2015

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

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

For thy name's sake, O Jehovah,\par\tab Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

Teach us what we shall say unto him;\par\tab {\i For} we cannot set {\i 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,\par\tab And I desire to reason with God.

Oh that I knew where I might find him!\par\tab That I might come even to his seat!

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

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