Then call thou, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and answer thou me
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.
Thou shouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thine hands
Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me;) And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me
If I had called, and he had answered me; Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgement.
Then would I speak, and not fear him; For I am not so in myself.
