Bible in Basic English
"I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments."
— Job 23:4, Bible in Basic English
“I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments. ”
And Job made answer and said,
Even today my outcry is bitter; his hand is hard on my sorrow.
If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!
I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments.
I would see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of what he would say to me.
Would he make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.
There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.
