But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.
Set forth your case, says the Lord; bring your proofs, says the King of Jacob.
Oh, that I had one to hear me! (Here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!
Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and you reply to me.
If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times.
Hear, you mountains, the indictment of the Lord, and you enduring foundations of the earth, for the Lord has an indictment against his people, and he will contend with Israel.
Though he slay me, I will hope in him; yet I will argue my ways to his face.
But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you,
“As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause,
“Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
