Job 23:1-7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. Then Job replied,

2. "Even today my complaint is rebellion; His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

3. "Oh that I knew where I might find Him, That I might come to His seat!

4. "I would present my case before Him And fill my mouth with arguments.

5. "I would learn the words which He would answer, And perceive what He would say to me.

6. "Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me.

7. "There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
