Job  


23 : 1 Then Job answered and said,
23 : 2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
23 : 3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
23 : 4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
23 : 5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
23 : 6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
23 : 7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
23 : 8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
23 : 9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
23 : 10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
23 : 11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
23 : 12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
23 : 13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
23 : 14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
23 : 15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
23 : 16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
23 : 17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
