Job 23:1-9 ▼

1 Then Job answered:

2 Today also my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

3 If only I knew how to find Him, so that I could go to His throne.

4 I would plead my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.

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

6 Would He prosecute me forcefully? No, He will certainly pay attention to me.

7 Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would escape from my Judge forever.

8 If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot perceive Him.

9 When He is at work to the north, I cannot see Him; when He turns south, I cannot find Him.
