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 declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.

Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
