Job 23
1
Then Job answered,
2
His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
3
That I might come even to his seat!
4
and fill my mouth with arguments.
5
and understand what he would tell me.
6
No, but he would listen to me.
7
so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
8
if west, I can’t find him;
9
He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.
10
When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.
11
I have kept his way, and not turned away.
12
I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13
What his soul desires, even that he does.
14
Many such things are with him.
15
When I consider, I am afraid of him.
16
The Almighty has terrified me.
17
neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
