Remind me. Let’s argue the case together. Recount the facts, so that you may be vindicated.

Meet Me in court, let’s argue our case together; State your cause, so that you may be proved right.

Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.

Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth thy cause, that thou mayest be justified.

Remind me of what happened! Let’s debate! You, prove to me that you are right!

Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Declare your case, that you may be justified.

“ Come, let us discuss this,” says the Lord.“ Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will be like wool.

Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect? God is the One who justifies.

Get ready to answer Me like a man; When I question you, you will inform Me.Would you really challenge My justice? Would you declare Me guilty to justify yourself?

All the nations are gathered together, and the peoples are assembled. Who among them can declare this, and tell us the former things? Let them present their witnesses to vindicate themselves, so that people may hear and say,“ It is true.”

I am so insignificant. How can I answer You? I place my hand over my mouth.I have spoken once, and I will not reply; twice, but now I can add nothing.

Because they disregarded the righteousness from God and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted themselves to God’s righteousness.

And He told them:“ You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly admired by people is revolting in God’s sight.

Or who has ever first given to Him, and has to be repaid?

But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus,“ And who is my neighbor?”

“ Be silent before Me, islands! And let peoples renew their strength. Let them approach, then let them testify; let us come together for the trial.

I wish that someone might arbitrate between a man and God just as a man pleads for his friend.

“ This is what the Lord God says: I will respond to the house of Israel and do this for them: I will multiply them in number like a flock.

I planted you, a choice vine from the very best seed. How then could you turn into a degenerate, foreign vine?Even if you wash with lye and use a great amount of soap, the stain of your sin is still in front of Me. This is the Lord God’s declaration.How can you protest,“ I am not defiled; I have not followed the Baals”? Look at your behavior in the valley; acknowledge what you have done. You are a swift young camel twisting and turning on her way,a wild donkey at home in the wilderness. She sniffs the wind in the heat of her desire. Who can control her passion? All who look for her will not become tired; they will find her in her mating season.Keep your feet from going bare and your throat from thirst. But you say,“ It’s hopeless; I love strangers, and I will continue to follow them.”Like the shame of a thief when he is caught, so the house of Israel has been put to shame. They, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophetssay to a tree,“ You are my father,” and to a stone,“ You gave birth to me.” For they have turned their back to Me and not their face, yet in their time of disaster they beg,“ Rise up and save us!”But where are your gods you made for yourself? Let them rise up and save you in your time of disaster if they can, for your gods are as numerous as your cities, Judah.Why do you bring a case against Me? All of you have rebelled against Me. This is the Lord’s declaration.I have struck down your children in vain; they would not accept discipline. Your own sword has devoured your prophets like a ravaging lion.Evil generation, pay attention to the word of the Lord! Have I been a wilderness to Israel or a land of dense darkness? Why do My people claim,“ We will go where we want; we will no longer come to You”?Can a young woman forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding sash? Yet My people have forgotten Me for countless days.How skillfully you pursue love; you also teach evil women your ways.Moreover, your skirts are stained with the blood of the innocent poor. You did not catch them breaking and entering. But in spite of all these thingsyou claim,“ I am innocent. His anger is sure to turn away from me.” But I will certainly judge you because you have said,“ I have not sinned.”

You have said,‘ I will cause you to prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’”

The One who vindicates Me is near; who will contend with Me? Let us confront each other. Who has a case against Me? Let him come near Me!

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else:“ Two men went up to the temple complex to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.The Pharisee took his stand and was praying like this:‘ God, I thank You that I’m not like other people— greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of everything I get.’“ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even raise his eyes to heaven but kept striking his chest and saying,‘ God, turn Your wrath from me— a sinner!’I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

If only I knew how to find Him, so that I could go to His throne.I would plead my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.I would learn how He would answer me; and understand what He would say to me.Would He prosecute me forcefully? No, He will certainly pay attention to me.

May my prayer be set before You as incense, the raising of my hands as the evening offering.
