But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.
But oh, that God would speak, and open his lips to you,
Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope; yet I will defend my ways to his face.
Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and do thou reply to me.

Set forth your case, says the Lord; bring your proofs, says the King of Jacob.
Hear, you mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the Lord has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
