Job 23:4

The Scriptures 1998

I would present my case before Him, and fill my mouth with proofs.

See the chapter Copy

Look, please, I have prepared my case, I know that I am in the right.

“Remind Me, let us enter into judgment, together; relate, that you might be declared right.

Rule me rightly, O Elohim, And plead my cause against a nation without kindness. Oh, deliver me from a man of deceit and unrighteousness!

For Your Name’s sake, O יהוה, You shall pardon my crookedness, though it is great.

Teach us what we should say to Him; we do not set in order because of darkness.

“For You said, ‘I shall certainly do good to you, and shall make your seed as the sand of the sea, which are too numerous to count.’ ”

But I would speak to the Almighty, and I delight to reason with Ě

If only I knew where to find Him, I would come to His dwelling-place!

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

“Should a reprover contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves Eloah answer it.”
