"There the upright might reason with him; So should I be delivered for ever from my judge. "
— Job 23:7, American Standard Version
“There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.”
“There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.”
“There an upright person could present his case before him, and I would be delivered forever from my judge.”
“Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.”
“There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.”
“There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.”
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.
Behold, I go forward, but he is notthere; And backward, but I cannot perceive him;
On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.
But he knoweth the way that I take; When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
