The Bible - The King James Version - Job 23
- Then Job answered and said,
- Even to day [is] my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
- Oh that I knew where I might find him! [that] I might come [even] to his seat!
- 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.
- Will he plead against me with [his] great power? No; but he would put [strength] in me.
- There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
- Behold, I go forward, but he [is] not [there]; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
- 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]:
- But he knoweth the way that I take: [when] he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
- My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
- Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary [food].
- But he [is] in one [mind], and who can turn him? and [what] his soul desireth, even [that] he doeth.
- For he performeth [the thing that is] appointed for me: and many such [things are] with him.
- Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
- For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
- Because I was not cut off before the darkness, [neither] hath he covered the darkness from my face.
