Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:1 - Then Job answered and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:2 -
Even to-day is my complaint rebellious:
My stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:3 -
Oh that I knew where I might find him!
That I might come even to his seat!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:4 -
I would set my cause in order before him,
And fill my mouth with arguments.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:5 -
I would know the words which he would answer me,
And understand what he would say unto me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:6 -
Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?
Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:7 -
There the upright might reason with him;
So should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:8 -
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there;
And backward, but I cannot perceive him;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:9 -
On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him;
He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:10 -
But he knoweth the way that I take;
When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:11 -
My foot hath held fast to his steps;
His way have I kept, and turned not aside.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:12 -
I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:13 -
But he is in one mind, and who can turn him?
And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:14 -
For he performeth that which is appointed for me:
And many such things are with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:15 -
Therefore am I terrified at his presence;
When I consider, I am afraid of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:16 -
For God hath made my heart faint,
And the Almighty hath terrified me;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:17 -
Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
