Job:23

Seeker Overlay ON

* JOB REPLIED : * »Even today my complaint is bitter rebellion . God ’s hand is heavy despite my groaning . * »Oh that I knew where I might find him that I might come to his seat ! * »I would present my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments . * »I would learn what he would answer and perceive what he would say to me . * »Would He contend with me using his great power ? No , surely He would pay attention to me . * »There the upright would reason with him . I would be delivered forever from my Judge . * »Behold , I go forward but He is not there . I go backward , but I cannot perceive him . * »He acts on the left and I cannot behold . He turns on the right and I cannot see him . * »But He knows the way I walk . He has tried me . I shall come forth as gold . * »My foot has held fast to his path . I have kept his way and not turned aside . * »I have not departed from the command of his lips . I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my necessary food . * »But he is unchangeable and who can turn him ? He does what he wants to do . * »He performs what is appointed for me . He is mindful of many such matters . * »Therefore , I would be dismayed at his presence . I stand in awe of him . * »God has made my heart faint . The Almighty has dismayed me . * »But I am not silenced by the darkness , Nor deep gloom that covers me .
