"Let him show fairness in response to me, and let my judgment reach to victory. "
— Job 23:7, Catholic Public Domain 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 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 place judgment before his eye, and my mouth would fill with criticism,
so that I may know the words that he will answer me and understand what he will say to me.
I do not want him to contend with me with much strength, nor to overwhelm me with the bulk of his greatness.
Let him show fairness in response to me, and let my judgment reach to victory.
If I go to the east, he does not appear; if I go to the west, I will not understand him.
If I turn to the left, what can I do? I will not take hold of him. If I turn myself to the right, I will not see him.
Truly, he knows my way and has tested me like gold that passes through fire.
