Job 23:3

King James Version with Apocrypha - American Edition

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

See the chapter Copy

Oh that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbor!

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

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

Even today is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.

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

My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
