Job 23:3-7

JOB—NOTE ON Job 23:3 The last time Job used this kind of legal language, he was convinced that God would both ignore and condemn him (see Job 9:3, Job 9:16, Job 9:19). Here, his convictions are just the opposite: if Job were granted an audience, God would pay attention (Job 23:6), and Job would be acquitted (v. Job 23:7).
