I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with El.
Oh that I knew where I might find him that I might come even to his seat
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth Eloah, let him answer it.
For thy name's sake, O Yahweh, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
Judge me, O Elohim, and plead my cause against a graceless nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
