Job 23:5

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

I will say to God:
“Do not declare me guilty!
Let me know why You prosecute me.

Then call, and I will answer,
or I will speak, and You can respond to me.

I know that You can do anything
and no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

It is of little importance to me that I should be evaluated by you or by any human court. In fact, I don’t even evaluate myself.

I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

I will say to God:
“Do not declare me guilty!
Let me know why You prosecute me.

Then call, and I will answer,
or I will speak, and You can respond to me.

I know that You can do anything
and no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

It is of little importance to me that I should be evaluated by you or by any human court. In fact, I don’t even evaluate myself.

But if only God would speak
and declare His case against you,

Who is this who obscures My counsel
with ignorant words?
