Job 23:5-15 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
5
I would learn what he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
6
Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; but he would give heed to me.
7
There an upright person could reason with him, and I should be acquitted forever by my judge.
8
"If I go forward, he is not there; or backward, I cannot perceive him;
9
on the left he hides, and I cannot behold him; I turn a to the right, but I cannot see him.
10
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I shall come out like gold.
11
My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.
12
I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured in b my bosom the words of his mouth.
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.
