Surely

Then at the sound of your voice I will give answer; or let me put forward my cause for you to give me an answer.

Let him take away his rod from me and not send his fear on me:

But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;

If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!

If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!

I desire

If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions.

Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?

Put forward your cause, says the Lord; let your strong argument come out, says the King of Jacob.

You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?
