Job 23:5

1
Then Job answered
and said,
2
Even to day
is
my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3
Oh that I knew where I might find him!
that
I might come
even
to his seat!
4
I would order
my
cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would know the words
which
he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
6
Will he plead against me with
his
great power? No; but he would put
strength
in me.
7
There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
8
Behold, I go forward, but he
is
not
there;
and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9
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:
10
But he knoweth the way that I take:
when
he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11
My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary
food
.
13
But he
is
in one
mind
, and who can turn him? and
what
his soul desireth, even
that
he doeth.
14
For he performeth
the thing that is
appointed for me: and many such
things are
with him.
15
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16
For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
17
Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
neither
hath he covered the darkness from my face.
