"Therethe uprightwould reasonwith Him; And I would be deliveredforeverfrom my Judge.
"Thisalsowill be my salvation,For a godlessmanmay not comebefore His presence.
"But I would speakto the Almighty,And I desireto arguewith God.
"But He knowsthe wayI take;[When] He has triedme, I shall comeforthas gold.
"For thoughI were right,I could not answer;I would have to implorethe mercyof my judge.
"Comenow,and let us reasontogether," Saysthe LORD,"Thoughyour sinsare as scarlet,They will be as whiteas snow;Thoughthey are redlike crimson,They will be like wool.
Righteousare You, O LORD,that I would plead[my] casewith You; IndeedI would discussmattersof justicewith You: Whyhas the wayof the wickedprospered?[Why] are allthose who dealin treacheryat ease?
Will He be angryforever?Will He be indignantto the end?'Behold,you have spokenAnd have doneevilthings,And you have hadyour way."
