Anything God tears down cannot be rebuilt. Anyone he puts in prison cannot be set free.

God is strong and always wins. He controls those who fool others and those who are fooled.

God makes nations great, and then he destroys them. He makes nations grow large, and then he scatters their people.

But I don't want to argue with you. I want to speak to God All-Powerful. I want to argue with God about my troubles.

Will you speak lies for God? Do you really believe your lies are what God wants you to say?

Are you trying to defend God against me? You are not being fair. You are choosing God's side simply because he is God.

If God checked you very closely, would he see that you are right? Do you really think you can fool God the same as you fool people?

You know that God would criticize you if you chose someone's side simply because they were important.

I will continue to trust God even if he kills me. But I will defend myself to his face.

And if he lets me live, it will be because I had the confidence to speak. No guilty person would dare meet God face to face.

"God, just give me two things, and then I will not hide from you:

God, why do you avoid me and treat me like your enemy?

God, do you need to keep an eye on something so small? Why bother to bring charges against me?

God, you would call me, and I would answer you. Then I, the one you made, would be important to you.

Water flowing over stones wears them down. Floods wash away the soil on the ground. In the same way, God, you destroy the hope people have.

If you had your way, no one would respect God and pray to him.

God tries to comfort you, but that is not enough for you. We have spoken his message to you in a gentle way.

You are expressing your anger against God when you say these things.

"People cannot really be pure. They cannot be more right than God!

God does not even trust his angels. He does not even think the sky is pure.
