Job 23

1Then Job^H347 answered^H6030 and said^H559, 2Even to-day^H3117 is my complaint^H7879 rebellious^H4805: My stroke^H3027 is heavier^H3513 than my groaning^H585. 3Oh that^H5414 I knew^H3045 where I might find^H4672 him! That I might come^H935 even to his seat^H8499! 4I would set my cause^H4941 in order^H6186 before^H6440 him, And fill^H4390 my mouth^H6310 with arguments^H8433. 5I would know^H3045 the words^H4405 which he would answer^H6030 me, And understand^H995 what he would say^H559 unto me. 6Would he contend^H7378 with^H5978 me in the greatness^H7230 of his power^H3581? Nay; but he would give^H7760 heed unto me. 7There the upright^H3477 might reason^H3198 with him; So should I be delivered^H6403 for ever^H5331 from my judge^H8199. 8Behold, I go^H1980 forward^H6924, but he is not there; And backward^H268, but I cannot perceive^H995 him; 9On the left hand^H8040, when he doth work^H6213, but I cannot behold^H2372 him; He hideth^H5848 himself on the right hand^H3225, that I cannot see^H7200 him. 10But he knoweth^H3045 the way^H1870 that I take^H5978; When he hath tried^H974 me, I shall come forth^H3318 as gold^H2091. 11My foot^H7272 hath held^H270 fast to his steps^H838; His way^H1870 have I kept^H8104, and turned not aside^H5186. 12I have not gone back^H4185 from the commandment^H4687 of his lips^H8193; I have treasured^H6845 up the words^H561 of his mouth^H6310 more than my necessary^H2706 food. 13But he is in one^H259 mind, and who can turn^H7725 him? And what his soul^H5315 desireth^H183, even that he doeth^H6213. 14For he performeth^H7999 that which is appointed^H2706 for me: And many^H7227 such^H2007 things are with him. 15Therefore am I terrified^H926 at his presence^H6440; When I consider^H995, I am afraid^H6342 of him. 16For God^H410 hath made my heart^H3820 faint^H7401, And the Almighty^H7706 hath terrified^H926 me; 17Because I was not cut off^H6789 before^H6440 the darkness^H2822, Neither did he cover^H3680 the thick darkness^H652 from my face^H6440.
