Call me, and I will answer you, or else I will speak, and you can answer me.
Yet I speak this way to the Almighty, and I desire to argue with God,
You will call me and I will answer you; to the work of your hands, you will extend your right hand.
then, would he grant me a hearing, so that the Almighty would listen to my desire, and he who judges would himself write a book,
Gird your waist like a man. I will question you, and you must answer me.
And if he should listen to me when I call, I would not believe that he had heard my voice.
For even I would not answer a man who were like myself, nor one who could be heard with me equally in judgment.
I will speak and I will not fear him, for in fearfulness I am not able to respond.
