4. I would set out my case before him,fill my mouth with arguments;
5. I would learn the words he would answer me,understand what he would say to me.
6. Would he contend against me with his great power?No, he himself would heed me!
7. There an upright man might argue with him,and I would once and for all be delivered from my judge.
8. But if I go east, he is not there;or west, I cannot perceive him;
9. The north enfolds him, and I cannot catch sight of him;The south hides him, and I cannot see him.
10. Yet he knows my way;if he tested me, I should come forth like gold.
11. My foot has always walked in his steps;I have kept his way and not turned aside.
12. From the commands of his lips I have not departed;the words of his mouth I have treasured in my heart.
13. But once he decides, who can contradict him?What he desires, that he does.
