Reasoning » With God
But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God.
Give ear with care to my words, and keep what I say in your minds. See now, I have put my cause in order, and I am certain that I will be seen to be right. Is any one able to take up the argument against me? If so, I would keep quiet and give up my breath. read more.
Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face: Take your hand far away from me; and let me not be overcome by fear of you. 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. What is the number of my evil-doings and my sins? give me knowledge of them. Why is your face veiled from me, as if I was numbered among your haters? Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way? For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years; And you put chains on my feet, watching all my ways, and making a limit for my steps; Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.
