Job 23:13-17 (New Revised Standard)
13
But he stands alone and who can dissuade him? What he desires, that he does.
14
For he will complete what he appoints for me; and many such things are in his mind.
15
Therefore I am terrified at his presence; when I consider, I am in dread of him.
16
God has made my heart faint; the Almighty a has terrified me;
17
If only I could vanish in darkness, and thick darkness would cover my face! b
