Job 23:4

King James 2000

I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

See the chapter Copy

Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be justified.

Put me in remembrance: let us contend together: state your case, that you may be proved right.

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

For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech because of darkness.

And you said, I will surely do you good, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

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

Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
