Job 23:3

Modern King James Version

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 pleads for his neighbor!

Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case before God.

Since then it remains that some must enter into it, and since they to whom it was first preached did not enter in because of unbelief,

O Jehovah, though our iniquities testify against us, act for Your name's sake; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against You.

Yea, in the way of Your judgments, O Jehovah, we awaited You; for Your name and for Your memory is the desire of our soul.

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; my eye pours out tears to God.

Truly You are a God who hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
