Book 29 : KETUVIM - JOB - Chapter 023
23:001
Then Job answered and said
23:002
Even to-day is my complaint bitter; my hand is become heavy
because of my groaning
23:003
Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come
even to His seat
23:004
I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with
arguments
23:005
I would know the words which He would answer me, and
understand what He would say unto me
23:006
Would He contend with me in His great power? Nay; but He
would give heed unto me
23:007
There the upright might reason with Him; so should I be
delivered for ever from my Judge
23:008
Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward,
but I cannot perceive Him
23:009
On the left hand, when He doth work, but I cannot behold
Him, He turneth Himself to the right hand, but I cannot see Him
23:010
For He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me,
I shall come forth as gold
23:011
My foot hath held fast to His steps, His way have I kept,
and turned not aside
23:012
I have not gone back from the commandment of His lips; I
have treasured up the words of His mouth more than my necessary food
23:013
But He is at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And
what His soul desireth, even that He doeth
23:014
For He will perform that which is appointed for me; and
many such things are with Him
23:015
Therefore am I affrighted at His presence; when I
consider, I am afraid of Him
23:016
Yea, G-d hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath
affrighted me
23:017
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did
He cover the thick darkness from my face
