Job 23:6

Would God refuse to listen to him or blast him into nothingness? No, Job is convinced that his reasoning would persuade God. "Earlier Job had stated that it would be pointless to present his case before God (Job 9:14-16), but now he is certain that an upright man, meaning himself, could present his case, and the Judge would acquit him and his troubles would terminate" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 746).

Point to Note

Many people have. similar desire for an imaginary day in court with God. They feel that somehow God has wronged them or someone else in this life. They are persuaded that their arguments are sound and that God would either concede to their point of view, "admit His errors" or be put in His place. Job will have his day in court with God (38), but it will not go as Job planned.
