“ 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.

惟愿有一位肯听我！（看哪，在这里有我所划的押，愿全能者回答我！）

惟愿有一位肯听我！看哪，我的记号，愿全能者回答我！愿那与我争讼的写下状词！

(“ 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.

Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire[ is, that] the Almighty would answer me, and[ that] mine adversary had written a book.

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

Remove your hand far from me and stop making me afraid with your terror.Then call, and I will answer, or I will speak, and you respond to me.

“ O that my words were written down, O that they were written on a scroll,that with an iron chisel and with lead they were engraved in a rock forever!

“ Indeed, I am completely unworthy– how could I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth to silence myself.I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more.”

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:“ Who is this who darkens counsel with words without knowledge?Get ready for a difficult task like a man; I will question you and you will inform me!

O that I knew where I might find him, that I could come to his place of residence!I would lay out my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.I would know with what words he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.Would he contend with me with great power? No, he would only pay attention to me.There an upright person could present his case before him, and I would be delivered forever from my judge.

How much less, then, when you say that you do not perceive him, that the case is before him and you are waiting for him!

“ May my enemy be like the wicked, my adversary like the unrighteous.

Reach agreement quickly with your accuser while on the way to court, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the warden, and you will be thrown into prison.

I go about blackened, but not by the sun; in the assembly I stand up and cry for help.

Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have integrity, and I trust in the LORD without wavering.

Thus his anger burns against me, and he considers me among his enemies.

“ If I cry out,‘ Violence!’ I receive no answer; I cry for help, but there is no justice.

Yet God finds occasions with me; he regards me as his enemy!He puts my feet in shackles; he watches closely all my paths.’

Why do you hide your face and regard me as your enemy?

But I wish to speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.

Make then my pledge with you. Who else will put up security for me?

Look, I am just like you in relation to God; I too have been molded from clay.
