Job 23:1-9 ▼

1 Job's response was to say:

2 |I'm still complaining bitterly today; my hand is heavy because of groaning.

3 If only I knew where to find him, I would visit him where he has taken his seat.

4 I would lay out my case before him; and fill my mouth with arguments.

5 I know how he would answer me; I understand what he'll tell me.

6 |Would he use his great power to fight me? No, he'll pay attention to me.

7 In that place, the upright can reason with him; and I'll be acquitted once and for all by my judge.|

8 |Look! If I go east, he isn't there! If I go to the west, I don't perceive him.

9 If he's working in the north, I can't observe him; If he turns south, I can't see him.
