Job 23:5 in context

The verses around it, from Job 23.

1 Then Job answered:

2 “Even today my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

3 If only I knew where to find Him, so that I could go to His seat.

4 I would plead my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.

5 I would learn how He would answer, and consider what He would say.

6 Would He contend with me in His great power? No, He would certainly take note of me.

7 Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

8 If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot find Him.

9 When He is at work in the north, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him.
