Job 23:2-9

2“EvenH1571 todayH3117 my 1complaintH7879 is rebellionH4805; 2His handH3027 isH3513 3heavyH3513 despiteH5921 my groaningH585.3OhH4310H5414 thatH4310H5414 I knewH3045 howH3045 to findH4672 Him, That I might comeH935 to His homeH8499!4I would 4presentH6186 my caseH4941 beforeH6440 Him And fillH4390 my mouthH6310 with argumentsH8433.5I would learnH3045 the wordsH4405 which He would 5answerH6030, And perceiveH995 whatH4100 He would tellH559 me.6Would He contendH7378 with me by 6the greatnessH7230 of His powerH3581? NoH3808, surelyH389 He would payH7760 attentionH7760 to me.7ThereH8033 the uprightH3477 would 7argueH3198 with Him; And I 8would be 9freeH6403 ofH6403 my JudgeH8199 foreverH5331.

8“BeholdH2005, I goH1980 forwardH6924 but He is not there, And backwardH268, but I 10cannotH3808 perceiveH995 Him;9When He actsH6213 on the leftH8040, I cannotH3808 seeH2372 Him; He turnsH5848 to the rightH3225, but I cannotH3808 seeH7200 Him.
