Job 23:3-8

Living Bible

³ Oh, that I knew where to find God—that I could go to his throne and talk with him there. ^4-5 I would tell him all about my side of this argument, and listen to his reply, and understand what he wants. ⁶ Would he merely overpower me with his greatness? No, he would listen with sympathy. ⁷ Fair and honest men could reason with him and be acquitted by my Judge.

⁸ “But I search in vain. I seek him here, I seek him there and cannot find him.
