Job 11:5 Cross References - ACV

⁵ But O that God would speak, and open his lips against thee,

³ O that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat! ⁴ I would set my case in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. ⁵ I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me. ⁶ Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?
