Surely I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.
But Oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee;
Though he slay me, yet will I wait for him: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.
Then call thou, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and answer thou me
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!
Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.
But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause:
If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
Hear, O ye mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
