Job 23:1-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

Job Speaks: Where Can I Find God?

23 Then Job replied ⌞to his friends⌟,

²“My complaint is bitter again today.
I try hard to control my sighing.

³“If only I knew where I could find God!
I would go where he lives.
⁴I would present ⌞my⌟ case to him.
I would have a mouthful of arguments.
⁵I want to know the words he would use to answer me.
I want to understand the things he would say to me.
⁶Would he sue me and hide behind great legal maneuvers?
No, he certainly would press charges against me.
⁷Then decent people could argue with him,
and I would escape my judgment forever.
