JOB’S REPLY TO ELIPHAZ

23 Then Job answered:

2 Today also my complaint is bitter.C,h

HisD hand is heavy despite my groaning.

3 If only I knew how to find him,

so that I could go to his throne.

4 I would plead my case before himi

and fill my mouth with arguments.

5 I would learn howE he would answer me;

and understand what he would say to me.

6 Would he prosecutej me forcefully?

No, he would certainly pay attention to me.

7 Then an upright man could reasonk with him,

and I would escape from my JudgeF,l forever.

8 If I go east, he is not there,

and if I go west, I cannot perceive him.m

9 When he is at work to the north, I cannot see him;

when he turns south, I cannot find him.
