“I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.”
Job requests that God not condemn him but tell him why God contends with him, asking for explanation rather than judgment. The plea is for clarity rather than mercy: Job wants to understand the cause of divine hostility. The request for explanation presumes that understanding the reason might provide some relief or at least satisfy a need for comprehension.
