Job 23:1-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

23 Then Job answered,

² Even today is my complaint rebellious and bitter; my stroke is heavier than my groaning.

³ Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat!

⁴ I would lay my cause before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.

⁵ I would learn what He would answer me, and understand what He would say to me.

⁶ Would He plead against me with His great power? No, He would give heed to me.^(A)

⁷ There the righteous [one who is upright and in right standing with God] could reason with Him; so I should be acquitted by my Judge forever.
