(“ Oh, that I had someone to hear me! I sign now my defense— let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser put his indictment in writing.

“ I wish someone would listen to me! I’m signing my name to everything I’ve said. I hope the Mighty One will give me his answer. I hope the one who brings charges against me will write them down.

Oh, that I had one to hear me!( Here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!

“ If only someone would listen to me! Look, I will sign my name to my defense. Let the Almighty answer me. Let my accuser write out the charges against me.

If only I had someone to hear my case! Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me. Let my Opponent compose his indictment.

Oh that I had one to hear me! Here is my signature; Let the Almighty answer me! And the indictment which my adversary has written,

Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my mark. Oh, that the Almighty would answer me, That my Prosecutor had written a book!

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!

If only I had someone to hear my case! Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me. Let my Opponent compose His indictment.

“ If only I had someone to hear me! Here is my signature– let the Almighty answer me! If only I had an indictment that my accuser had written.

oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!

Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.

Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!

Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,Who[ is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

Oh that I knew where I might find him![ that] I might come[ even] to his seat!I would order[ my] cause 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.Will he plead against me with[ his] great power? No; but he would put[ strength] in me.There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him,[ yet] judgment[ is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.

Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

I went mourning without the sun: I stood up,[ and] I cried in the congregation.

Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD;[ therefore] I shall not slide.

He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as[ one of] his enemies.

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but[ there is] no judgment.

Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who[ is] he[ that] will strike hands with me?

Behold, I[ am] according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
