dourh - 23

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

dourh@Job:23:2 @ Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.

dourh@Job:23:3 @ Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?

dourh@Job:23:4 @ I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.

dourh@Job:23:5 @ That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

dourh@Job:23:6 @ I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.

dourh@Job:23:7 @ Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.

dourh@Job:23:8 @ But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.

dourh@Job:23:9 @ If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not see him.

dourh@Job:23:10 @ But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:

dourh@Job:23:11 @ My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.

dourh@Job:23:12 @ I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.

dourh@Job:23:13 @ For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever is soul hath desired, that hath he done.

dourh@Job:23:14 @ And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him.

dourh@Job:23:15 @ And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him I am made pensive with fear.

dourh@Job:23:16 @ God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me.

dourh@Job:23:17 @ For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face.
