Job 23

1Then JobH347 answeredH559 and saidH559, 2EvenH1571 todayH3117 is my complaintH7879 rebelliousH4805: my stroke is heavierH3513 thanH5921 my groaningH585. 3OhH4310 that I knewH3045 where I might findH4672 him, that I might comeH935 evenH5704 to his seatH8499! 4I would orderH4941 my causeH4941 beforeH6440 him, and fillH4390 my mouthH6310 with arguments. 5I would knowH3045 the wordsH4405 whichH4100 he would answerH6030 meH995, and understandH995 whatH4100 he would sayH559 unto meH995. 6Would he contendH7378 with meH7760 in the greatness of his powerH3581? Nay; but he would giveH7760 heed unto meH7760. 7There the uprightH3477 might reasonH3198 with him; soH8033 should I be deliveredH6403 for everH5331 from my judgeH8199. 8BeholdH2005, I goH1980 forwardH1980, but he is notH3808 there; and backwardH268, but I cannotH3808 perceiveH995 him: 9On the leftH8040 handH3225, when he doth work, but I cannotH3808 beholdH7200 him: he hideth himselfH3808 on the rightH3225 handH3225, that I cannotH3808 seeH7200 him. 10But he knoweth the wayH1870 that I takeH3318; when he hath triedH974 meH5978, I shall comeH3318 forthH3318 as goldH2091. 11My footH7272 hath heldH270 fastH270 to his stepsH7272; his wayH1870 have I keptH8104, and turnedH5186 notH3808 asideH5186. 12I have notH3808 goneH3808 back from the commandmentH4687 of his lipsH8193; I have treasuredH6845 upH6845 the wordsH561 of his mouthH6310 moreH3808 thanH3808 my necessaryH2706 foodH2706. 13But he is in one mindH5315, and who canH4310 turnH7725 him? and whatH4310 his soulH5315 desireth, evenH6213 that he doeth. 14For he performeth that which is appointedH2706 for meH5973: and manyH7227 suchH2007 things are with him. 15Therefore am I troubled at his presenceH6440; when I considerH995, I am afraidH6342 of him. 16For GodH410 hath made my heartH3820 faintH7401, and the AlmightyH7706 hath troubled meH3820: 17BecauseH3588 I was notH3808 cutH6789 offH6789 beforeH6440 the darknessH2822, neitherH3808 didH3808 he coverH3680 the thick darknessH2822 from my faceH6440.
