Job 23:3-7
O that I knew where I might find him, that I could come to his place of residence!I would lay out my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.I would know with what words he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.Would he contend with me with great power? No, he would only pay attention to me.There an upright person could present his case before him, and I would be delivered forever from my judge.

Show me my transgression and my sin.
