Job Chapter[BR] 23

1 Then Job answered and said, 2 Even today is my complaint rebellious: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. 3 Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat! 4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. 6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me. 7 There the upright might reason with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. 8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not cf15i there ; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 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. 10 But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot hath held fast to his steps; his way have I kept, and turned not aside. 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. 13 But he is in one cf15i mind , and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. 14 For he performeth that which is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. 15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence; when I consider, I am afraid of him. 16 For God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath troubled me: 17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
1. Then Job answered and said, 2. Even today is my complaint rebellious: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. 3. Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat! 4. I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 5. I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. 6. Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me. 7. There the upright might reason with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. 8. Behold, I go forward, but he is not {cf15i there}; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 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. 10. But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11. My foot hath held fast to his steps; his way have I kept, and turned not aside. 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. 13. But he is in one {cf15i mind}, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. 14. For he performeth that which is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. 15. Therefore am I troubled at his presence; when I consider, I am afraid of him. 16. For God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath troubled me: 17. Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
