Job 23:1-7

Modern English Version

² “Today also my complaint is bitter;
    my hand is heavy because of my groaning.
³ Oh, that I knew where I might find Him,
    that I might come even to His seat!
⁴ I would present my case before Him
    and fill my mouth with arguments.
⁵ I would know the words that He would answer me
    and understand what He would say to me.
⁶ Will He plead against me with His great power?
    No! But He would take note of me.
⁷ There the righteous might dispute with Him;
    so would I be delivered forever from my Judge.
