3. Oh that I knew where I might find him! [that] I might come [even] to his seat! 4. I would order [my] cause 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 unto me. 6. Will he plead against me with [his] great power? No; but he would put [strength] in me. 7. There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

Commentary on Job 23:3

Theological / Devotional

To his seat. That is, to his dwelling place. Job is plagued with a sense of the remoteness and inaccessibility of God. He feels that he must somehow find God. He repeats his desire to carry his case directly to God.
