Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will defend my own ways before him.

I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned among themselves, he said unto them, Why reason you these things in your hearts?

And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Hellenists: but they went about to slay him.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Because, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
