I would lay 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:
Yet you have said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted because of their number.’ ”
I have indeed prepared my case; I know that I shall be vindicated.
But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.
Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his dwelling!
I would learn what he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
“Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Anyone who argues with God must respond.”
For your name's sake, O Lord, pardon my guilt, for it is great.
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from those who are deceitful and unjust deliver me!
Accuse me, let us go to trial; set forth your case, so that you may be proved right.
