1 Then Job answered and said: 2 "Even today my complaint is bitter; My hand is listless because of my groaning. 3 Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, I That I might come to His seat! 4 I would present I my case before Him, And fill my mouth with arguments. 5 I would know the words I which He would answer me, And understand what He would say to me. 6 Would He contend with me in His great power? No! But He would take I note of me. 7 There the upright could reason with Him, And I would be delivered forever from my Judge. 8 "Look, I go forward, but He is not I there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him; 9 When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold I Him; When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see I Him. 10 But He knows the way that I take; I When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside. 12 I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary I food. 13 "But He I is unique, and who can make Him change? And I whatever His soul desires, I that He does. 14 For He performs I what is appointed for me, And many such I things are with Him. 15 Therefore I am terrified at His presence; When I consider I this, I am afraid of Him. 16 For God made my heart weak, And the Almighty terrifies me; 17 Because I was not cut off from the presence of darkness, And He did I not hide deep darkness from my face.
