Job  


23 : 1 Then Job replied,
23 : 2 Even today my complaint is rebellion; His hand is heavy despite my groaning.
23 : 3 Oh that I knew where I might find Him, That I might come to His seat!
23 : 4 I would present my case before Him And fill my mouth with arguments.
23 : 5 I would learn the words which He would answer, And perceive what He would say to me.
23 : 6 Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me.
23 : 7 There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
23 : 8 Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
23 : 9 When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.
23 : 10 But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
23 : 11 My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside.
23 : 12 I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
23 : 13 But He is unique and who can turn Him? And what His soul desires, that He does.
23 : 14 For He performs what is appointed for me, And many such decrees are with Him.
23 : 15 Therefore, I would be dismayed at His presence; When I consider, I am terrified of Him.
23 : 16 It is God who has made my heart faint, And the Almighty who has dismayed me,
23 : 17 But I am not silenced by the darkness, Nor deep gloom which covers me.
