Job 40:8

8 Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that (A)you may be in the right?

40 And the Lord (A)said to Job:
2 “Shall a faultfinder (B)contend with the Almighty?
He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
Job Promises Silence
3 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
4 “Behold, I am (C)of small account; what shall I answer you?
(D)I lay my hand on my mouth.
5 I have spoken (E)once, and I will not answer;
(F)twice, but I will proceed no further.”
Job 33:6-18
English Standard Version
6 Behold, I am toward God as you are;
I too was pinched off from a piece of (A)clay.
7 Behold, no (B)fear of me need terrify you;
my (C)pressure will not be heavy upon you.
8 “Surely you have spoken in my ears,
and I have heard the sound of your words.
9 You say, ‘I am (D)pure, without (E)transgression;
I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me,
he (F)counts me as his enemy,
11 he (G)puts my feet in the stocks
and (H)watches all my paths.’
12 “Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you,
for God is greater than man.
13 Why do you (I)contend against him,
saying, ‘He (J)will answer none of man's[a] words’?[b]
14 For God (K)speaks in one way,
(L)and in two, though man (M)does not perceive it.
15 In (N)a dream, in (O)a vision of (P)the night,
when (Q)deep sleep falls on men,
while they slumber on their beds,
16 then he (R)opens the ears of men
and terrifies[c] them with warnings,
17 that he may turn man aside from his (S)deed
and conceal pride from a man;
18 he keeps back his soul from the pit,
his life from (T)perishing by the sword.
Job 31:35
English Standard Version
35 Oh, that I had one to hear me!
(Here is my signature! Let the Almighty (A)answer me!)
Oh, that I had (B)the indictment written by my adversary!
Job 23:3-7
English Standard Version
3 Oh, (A)that I knew where I might find him,
that I might come even to his (B)seat!
4 I would (C)lay my case before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know what he would answer me
and understand what he would say to me.
6 Would he (D)contend with me in the greatness of his power?
No; he would pay attention to me.
7 There an upright man could argue with him,
and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
