Job 23:7 Context
5I would know the words which he would answere me, and vnderstand what he would say vnto me. 6Will he plead against me with his great power? No, but hee would put strength in me. 7There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be deliuered for euer from my Iudge. 8Behold, I goe forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceiue him: 9On the left hand where hee doeth worke, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himselfe on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

Wesley's Notes for Job 23:7
23:7 There - At that throne of grace, where God lays aside his majesty, and judges according to his wonted clemency. Dispute - Humbly propounding the grounds of their confidence. So - Upon such a fair and equal hearing. Delivered - From the damnatory sentence of God. This and some such expressions of Job cannot be excused from irreverence towards God, for which God afterwards reproves him, and Job abhorreth himself.
