I would present ⌞my⌟ case to him. I would have a mouthful of arguments.
But you did say, ‘I will make sure that you are prosperous and that your descendants will be as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. No one will be able to count them because there are so many.’ ”
I have prepared my case. I know that I will be declared righteous.
However, I want to speak to the Almighty, and I wish to argue my case in front of God.
“If only I knew where I could find God! I would go where he lives.
I want to know the words he would use to answer me. I want to understand the things he would say to me.
Teach us what we should say to him. We are unable to prepare ⌞a case⌟ because of darkness.
“Will the person who finds fault with the Almighty correct him? Will the person who argues with God answer him?”
For the sake of your name, O Lord, remove my guilt, because it is great.
Judge me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation. Rescue me from deceitful and unjust people.
Remind me ⌞of what happened⌟. Let us argue our case together. State your case so that you can prove you are right.
