Charles Spurgeon Commentary Job 23:3

"Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!" — Job 23:3 (ASV)

Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

"To his judgment-seat, that I might plead my cause, and vindicate my character even there."

Oh that I knew where I might find him!

Job longed to find his God; he wanted to come to him. He had been slandered by men; so he turns from the court of injustice below to the divine Court of King's Bench above, where he is sure of a righteous verdict: Oh that I knew where I might find him!

That I might come even to his seat!

To his mercy-seat, and even to his judgment-seat. Job was willing to appear even there.
