3  But ^rI would speak to the Almighty,

and I desire to argue my case with God.

15  ^yThough he slay me, I will hope in him;¹

yet I will argue my ways to his face.

21  that he would argue the case of a man with God,

as¹ a son of man does with his neighbor.

7  There an upright man could argue with him,

and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
