chapter_Job_23
Job 23:1: And Job answereth and saith: &#8212; Job 23:2: Also &#8212; to-day is my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing. Job 23:3: O that I had known &#8212; and I find Him, I come in unto His seat, Job 23:4: I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill with arguments. Job 23:5: I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me. Job 23:6: In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth it in me. Job 23:7: There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge. Job 23:8: Lo, forward I go &#8212; and He is not, And backward &#8212; and I perceive him not. Job 23:9: To the left in His working &#8212; and I see not, He is covered on the right, and I behold not. Job 23:10: For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me &#8212; as gold I go forth. Job 23:11: On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside, Job 23:12: The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth. Job 23:13: And He is in one mind, And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired &#8212; and He doth it. Job 23:14: For He doth complete my portion, And many such things are with Him. Job 23:15: Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him. Job 23:16: And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me. Job 23:17: For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.
