Is any one able to take up the argument against me? If so, I would keep quiet and give up my breath.

Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?
See now, I have put my cause in order, and I am certain that I will be seen to be right.
For now my steps are numbered by you, and my sin is not overlooked.
You overcome him for ever, and he is gone; his face is changed in death, and you send him away.
I am broken by his wrath, and his hate has gone after me; he has made his teeth sharp against me: my haters are looking on me with cruel eyes;
At the sound of your voice I would give an answer, and you would have a desire for the work of your hands.
Truly, he will put an end to me; I have no hope; but I will not give way in argument before him;
Job 17
Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.
For only to them was the land given, and no strange people were among them:)
Truly, he puts no faith in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his eyes;
So that you are turning your spirit against God, and letting such words go out of your mouth?
Are the comforts of God not enough for you, and the gentle word which was said to you?
What is man, that he may be clean? and how may the son of woman be upright?
Though its root may be old in the earth, and its cut-off end may be dead in the dust;
Still the upright keeps on his way, and he who has clean hands gets new strength.
Then at the sound of your voice I will give answer; or let me put forward my cause for you to give me an answer.
If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.
What knowledge have you which we have not? is there anything in your mind which is not in ours?
For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years;
Take note and give ear to my words; and I will say what I have seen:
And Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,
It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.
For your mouth is guided by your sin, and you have taken the tongue of the false for yourself.
He does not get wealth for himself, and is unable to keep what he has got; the heads of his grain are not bent down to the earth.
So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.
Job 15
For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.
His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.
