Job 23
American Standard Version
1Then JobH347 answered and saidH559,
2Even to-day is my complaintH7879 rebelliousH4805:My stroke is heavierH3513 than my groaningH585.3Oh that I knewH3045 where I might findH4672 him!That I might comeH935 even to his seat!4I would set my cause in order before him,And fillH4390 my mouthH6310 with arguments.5I would knowH3045 the wordsH4405 which he would answerH6030 me,And understandH995 what he would sayH559 unto me.6Would he contendH7378 with me in the greatness of his powerH3581?Nay; but he would give heed unto me.7There the uprightH3477 might reason with him;So should I be deliveredH6403 for ever from my judgeH8199.8Behold, I goH1980 forward, but he is notthere;And backwardH268, but I cannot perceiveH995 him;9On the left handH3225, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him;He hideth himself on the rightH3225 handH3225, that I cannot seeH7200 him.10But he knoweth the wayH1870 that I take;When he hath tried me, I shall comeH3318 forthH3318 as goldH2091.11My footH7272 hath heldH270 fast to his steps;His wayH1870 have I keptH8104, and turnedH5186 not asideH5186.12I have not gone back from the commandmentH4687 of his lipsH8193;I have treasuredH6845 up the wordsH561 of his mouthH6310 more than my necessary food.13But he is in oneH259mind, and who can turnH7725 him?And what his soulH5315 desireth, even that he doeth.14For he performeth that which is appointed for me:And manyH7227 such things are with him.15ThereforeH3651 am I terrifiedH926 at his presenceH6440;When I considerH995, I am afraidH6342 of him.16For GodH410 hath made my heartH3820 faint,And the AlmightyH7706 hath terrifiedH926 me;17Because I was not cut off before the darknessH2822,Neither did he coverH3680 the thick darknessH2822 from my faceH6440.
