1. Then Job answered, and said:
2. Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.
3. Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?
4. I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.
5. That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
6. I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.
7. Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.
8. But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.
