Oh That I Knew Where I Might Find Him — Job 23:1–9

Then Job answered and said,

Even to-day is my complaint rebellious:
My stroke is heavier than my groaning.

Oh that I knew where I might find him!
That I might come even to his seat!

I would set my cause in order before him,
And fill my mouth with arguments.

I would know the words which he would answer me,
And understand what he would say unto me.

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?
Nay; but he would give heed unto me.

There the upright might reason with him;
So should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there;
And backward, but I cannot perceive him;

On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him;
He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.
