Job  


23 : 1 Then Job answered and said:
23 : 2 Today also mycomplaint is bitter;myhand is heavy on account of my groaning.
23 : 3 Oh,that I knew where I might find him,that I might come even to hisseat!
23 : 4 I wouldlay my case before himand fill my mouth with arguments.
23 : 5 I would know what he would answer meand understand what he would say to me.
23 : 6 Would hecontend with me in the greatness of his power?No; he would pay attention to me.
23 : 7 There an upright man could argue with him,and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
23 : 8 Behold,I go forward, but he is not there,and backward, but I do not perceive him;
23 : 9 on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him;he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.
23 : 10 But heknowsthe way that Itake;when he hastried me, I shall come out as gold.
23 : 11 My foothas held fast to his steps;I have kept his way and havenot turned aside.
23 : 12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;I havetreasured the words of his mouth more than myportion of food.
23 : 13 But he is unchangeable,andwho can turn him back?What hedesires, that he does.
23 : 14 For he will complete what heappoints for me,and many such things arein his mind.
23 : 15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence;when I consider, I am in dread of him.
23 : 16 God has made myheart faint;the Almighty has terrified me;
23 : 17 yet I am not silenced because of the darkness,nor because thick darkness covers my face.
