Which are dull and dirty because of ice,And into which the snow melts and hides itself;

“How can I answer Him [and plead my case],Choosing my words [to reason] with Him?

“But I wish to speak to the Almighty,And I desire to argue with God.

“Should he rebuke and argue with useless talk?Or with words in which there is no benefit?

“Therefore my disquieting thoughts make me answer,Because of the uneasiness that is within me.

“There the righteous and upright could reason with Him;So I would be acquitted forever by my Judge.
