job 23

1 - Then Job answered,
2 - "Even today my complaint is rebellious.His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
3 - Oh that I knew where I might find him!That I might come even to his seat!
4 - I would set my cause in order before him,and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 - I would know the words which he would answer me,and understand what he would tell me.
6 - Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?No, but he would listen to me.
7 - There the upright might reason with him,so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
8 - "If I go east, he is not there;if west, I can't find him;
9 - He works to the north, but I can't see him.He turns south, but I can't catch a glimpse of him.
10 - But he knows the way that I take.When he has tried me, I shall come out like gold.
11 - My foot has held fast to his steps.I have kept his way, and not turned aside.
12 - I haven't 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 stands alone, and who can oppose him?What his soul desires, even that he does.
14 - For he performs that which is appointed for me.Many such things are with him.
15 - Therefore I am terrified at his presence.When I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 - For God has made my heart faint.The Almighty has terrified me.
17 - Because I was not cut off before the darkness,neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
