Book 18 : JOB - Chapter 023
023:001
Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than
my groaning
023:002
Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even
to his seat
023:003
I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with
arguments
023:004
I would know the words which he would answer me, and
understand what he would say unto me
023:005
Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he
would put strength in me
023:006
There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be
delivered for ever from my judge
023:007
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I
cannot perceive him
023:008
On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him:
he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him
023:009
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I
shall come forth as gold
023:010
My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not
declined
023:011
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I
have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary
food
023:012
But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul
desireth, even that he doeth
023:013
For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many
such things are with him
023:014
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am
afraid of him
023:015
For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me
023:016
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he
covered the darkness from my face
