"Now as for me, I would seek God if I were you; I would commit my case to God.

But I want to talk to the Almighty; and I'm determined to argue my case before God."

Will you show partiality to him? Will you plead God's case?

Even though he kills me, I'll continue to hope in him. At least I'll be able to argue my case to his face!

"Look, now! I've prepared my case for court. I know that I'm going to win.

If you really intend to vaunt yourselves over me, and make my problems the basis of your case against me,

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

I was a father to the needy; I diligently inquired into the case of those I didn't know.

But God has loosened his cord and afflicted me; so they've cast off all restraints in my presence.

Answer me, if you can! Present your case! Take your stand in my presence!

Even though you complain that you can't perceive him, your case is already pending for judgment in his presence so keep on placing your hope in him.

But now you are occupied with the case of the wicked; but justice and judgment will be served.

Can you spread out the skies like he does; can you cast them as one might a mirror?

Tell us! What are we to say to him? Can we prepare our case to face him when our faces are in darkness?
