1. Then Job answered:
2. “Even today my complaint is rebellious; His hand is heavy despite my groaning.
3. If only I knew where to find Him; if only I could go to His dwelling.
4. I would lay out my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.
5. I would know with what words He would answer me, and understand what He would say to me.
6. Would He oppose me with great power? No, He would only pay attention to me.
7. There the upright can reason with Him, and there I would forever be delivered from my Judge.
8. But, if I go to the east, He is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find Him.
9. When He is in the north, I cannot perceive Him; When He turns south, I do not see Him.
