But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,

惟愿神说话；愿他开口攻击你，

但是，惟愿上帝说话，愿他张开嘴唇攻击你。

但是，惟愿神说话，愿他张开嘴唇攻击你。

唯愿上帝发言，开口驳斥你，

但愿神说话，愿他开口跟你说话，

惟願神說話；願他開口攻擊你，

但是，惟願上帝說話，願他張開嘴唇攻擊你。

但是，惟願神說話，願他張開嘴唇攻擊你。

唯願上帝發言，開口駁斥你，

但願神說話，願他開口跟你說話，

但是哦，惟願上帝發表意見哦！願他開口同你辯駁。

願上帝發言、啟口以攻爾、

我願上帝與爾辯論、

惟願天主有言、向爾啟口、

Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you

I wish God would speak. I wish he’d answer you.

But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you,

If only God would speak; if only he would tell you what he thinks!

But if only God would speak and open his lips against you!

But if only God would speak, And open His lips against you,

But oh, that God would speak, And open His lips against you,

But if only God would speak and declare His case against you,

But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

But if only God would speak, if only he would open his lips against you,

But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,

Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge?

And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said,Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,Behold, I am of small account; What shall I answer thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; Yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.

Oh that I had one to hear me!( Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me) And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!

Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy;He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?For God speaketh once, Yea twice, though man regardeth it not.In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed;Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man;He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.

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.

Wilt thou even annul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified?
