acv - 23

acv@Job:23:1 @ Then Job answered and said,

acv@Job:23:2 @ Even today my complaint is rebellious. My stroke is heavier than my groaning.

acv@Job:23:3 @ O that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat!

acv@Job:23:4 @ I would set my case in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

acv@Job:23:5 @ I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

acv@Job:23:6 @ Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would give heed to me.

acv@Job:23:7 @ There the upright might reason with him. So I should be delivered forever from my judge.

acv@Job:23:8 @ Behold, I go forward, but he is not [there], and backward, but I cannot perceive him,

acv@Job:23:9 @ on the left hand, when he works, but I cannot behold him. He hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

acv@Job:23:10 @ But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

acv@Job:23:11 @ My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned aside.

acv@Job:23:12 @ I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips, I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

acv@Job:23:13 @ But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desires, even that he does.

acv@Job:23:14 @ For he performs that which is appointed for me. And many such things are with him.

acv@Job:23:15 @ Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.

acv@Job:23:16 @ For God has made my heart faint, and the Almighty has terrified me,

acv@Job:23:17 @ because I was not cut off before the darkness, nor did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
