Job 23:7

Job's Eighth Speech: A Response To Eliphaz

⁶ Would He prosecute me forcefully?
No, He will certainly pay attention to me.
⁷ Then an upright man could reason with Him,
and I would escape from my Judge forever. ⁸ If I go east, He is not there,
and if I go west, I cannot perceive Him.

Deliver Me

With God

Dispute With Him
