Job 23:4

New King James Version

I would present my case before Him, And fill my mouth with arguments.

See the chapter Copy

See now, I have prepared my case, I know that I shall be vindicated.

Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.

Vindicate me, O God, And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; Oh, 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 should say to Him, For we can prepare nothing because of the darkness.

For You said, ‘I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’ ”

But 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 to His seat!

I would know the words which He would answer me, And understand what He would say to me.

“Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? He who rebukes God, let him answer it.”
