"I would learn the words which He would answer,Job wants to go to court with God, and make an argument to Him like a lawyer to a judge. He feels that if he were able to do this, at least he would then get a response, as a judge hands down a ruling. He believes that he would be absolved by that ruling, but I don't think the result would really matter.
And perceive what he would say to me.
What Job is seeking here is two-fold. First, he wants to actually see his tormenter. He knows God has to have had a hand in this, and wants a chance to confront Him. He knows the risks involved, but still wants that chance to take Him on. Second, he wants to know why. He wants to hear, from God's own lips, why He has chosen to strike him so low. Even if he doesn't like the answer, he would at least have an answer, and knowing the reason alone would give him comfort.
