dby@Job:23:1 @ And Job answered and said,

dby@Job:23:2 @ Even to-day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.

dby@Job:23:3 @ Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come to his seat!

dby@Job:23:4 @ I would order the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments;

dby@Job:23:5 @ I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

dby@Job:23:6 @ Would he plead against me with [his] great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.

dby@Job:23:7 @ There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge.

dby@Job:23:8 @ Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him;

dby@Job:23:9 @ On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold [him] not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see [him] not.

dby@Job:23:10 @ But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.

dby@Job:23:11 @ My foot hath held to his steps; his way have I kept, and not turned aside.

dby@Job:23:12 @ Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own heart.

dby@Job:23:13 @ But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.

dby@Job:23:14 @ For he will perform [what] is appointed for me; and many such things are with him.

dby@Job:23:15 @ Therefore am I troubled at his presence; I consider, and I am afraid of him.

dby@Job:23:16 @ For �God hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me;

dby@Job:23:17 @ Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he hidden the gloom from me.
