noyes - Job:23

noyes@Job:23:1 @ Then Job answered and said:

noyes@Job:23:2 @ Still is my complaint bitter; But my wound is deeper than my groaning.

noyes@Job:23:3 @ O that I knew where I might find him! That I might go before his throne!

noyes@Job:23:4 @ I would order my cause before him, And fill my mouth with arguments;

noyes@Job:23:5 @ I should know what he would answer me, And understand what he would say to me.

noyes@Job:23:6 @ Would he contend with me with his mighty power? No! he would have regard to me.

noyes@Job:23:7 @ Then would an upright man contend with him, And I should be fully acquitted by my judge.

noyes@Job:23:8 @ But, behold, I go eastward, and he is not there; And westward, but I cannot perceive him;

noyes@Job:23:9 @ To the north, where he worketh, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the south, and I cannot see him.

noyes@Job:23:10 @ But he knoweth the way which is in my heart; When he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.

noyes@Job:23:11 @ My feet have trodden in his steps; His way I have kept, and have not turned aside from it.

noyes@Job:23:12 @ I have not neglected the precepts of his lips; Above my own law have I esteemed the words of his mouth.

noyes@Job:23:13 @ But he is of one mind, and who can turn him? And what he desireth, that he doeth.

noyes@Job:23:14 @ He performeth that which is appointed for me; And many such things are in his mind!

noyes@Job:23:15 @ Therefore I am in terror on account of him; When I consider, I am afraid of him.

noyes@Job:23:16 @ For God maketh my heart faint; Yea, the Almighty terrifieth me;

noyes@Job:23:17 @ Because I was not taken away before darkness came, And he hath not hidden darkness from mine eyes.
