I would plead my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would order my cause before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
I would lay my cause before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
I would lay out my case before him, fill my mouth with arguments,
I would place judgment before his eye, and my mouth would fill with criticism,
I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints:
You have said, “I will cause you to prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to be counted.” ’
Now then, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.
Yet I prefer to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.
If only I knew how to find him, so that I could go to his throne.
I would learn how he would answer me; and understand what he would say to me.
Teach us what we should say to him; we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.
Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who argues with God give an answer.
Remind me. Let’s argue the case together. Recount the facts, so that you may be vindicated.
