Job 23:4-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

4. I would lay out my caseand present my arguments.

5. Then I would listen to his replyand understand what he says to me.

6. Would he use his great power to argue with me?No, he would give me a fair hearing.

7. Honest people can reason with him,so I would be forever acquitted by my judge.

8. I go east, but he is not there.I go west, but I cannot find him.

9. I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden.I look to the south, but he is concealed.
