Job 13:16

Context

13:16 Moreover, this will become my deliverance,

for no godless person would come before him. 1 

Job 23:4

Context

23:4 I would lay out my case 2  before him

and fill my mouth with arguments.

1 sn The fact that Job will dare to come before God and make his case is evidence – to Job at least – that he is innocent.

2 tn The word מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat) is normally “judgment; decision.” But in these contexts it refers to the legal case that Job will bring before God. With the verb עָרַךְ (’arakh, “to set in order; to lay out”) the whole image of drawing up a lawsuit is complete.
