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