Job 23
23:1

Then Job347 answered6030 and said,559

23:2

Even to day3117 is my complaint7879 bitter:4805 my stroke3027 is heavier3513 than my groaning.585

23:3

Oh that5414 I knew3045 where I might find4672 him! that I might come935 even to his seat!8499

23:4

I would order6186 my cause4941 before6440 him, and fill4390 my mouth6310 with arguments.8433

23:5

I would know3045 the words4405 which he would answer6030 me, and understand995 what he would say559 unto me.

23:6

Will he plead7378 against me5978 with his great7230 power?3581 No; but he would put7760 strength in me.

23:7

There the righteous3477 might dispute3198 with him; so should I be delivered6403 for ever5331 from my judge.8199

23:8

Behold, I go1980 forward,6924 but he is not there; and backward,268 but I cannot perceive995 him:

23:9

On the left hand,8040 where he doth work,6213 but I cannot behold2372 him: he hideth5848 himself on the right hand,3225 that I cannot see7200 him:

23:10

But he knoweth3045 the way1870 that I take:5978 when he hath tried974 me, I shall come forth3318 as gold.2091

23:11

My foot7272 hath held270 his steps,838 his way1870 have I kept,8104 and not declined.5186

23:12

Neither have I gone back4185 from the commandment4687 of his lips;8193 I have esteemed6845 the words561 of his mouth6310 more than my necessary2706 food.

23:13

But he is in one259 mind, and who can turn7725 him? and what his soul5315 desireth,183 even that he doeth.6213

23:14

For he performeth7999 the thing that is appointed2706 for me: and many7227 such2007 things are with him.

23:15

Therefore am I troubled926 at his presence:6440 when I consider,995 I am afraid6342 of him.

23:16

For El410 maketh my heart3820 soft,7401 and the Almighty7706 troubleth926 me:

23:17

Because I was not cut off6789 before6440 the darkness,2822 neither hath he covered3680 the darkness652 from my face.6440
