Job 23:1-7 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Job replied,

2. "Even today my problems are more than I can handle. In spite of my groans, God's hand is heavy on me.

3. I wish I knew where I could find him! I wish I could go to the place where he lives!

4. I would state my case to him. I'd give him all of my arguments.

5. I'd find out what his answers would be. I'd think about what he would say.

6. Would he oppose me with his great power? No. He wouldn't bring charges against me.

7. I'm an honest person. I could state my case to him. Then my Judge would tell me once and for all that I'm not guilty.
