Job 23:1-12 (Revised Standard Version)
1
Then Job answered:
2
"Today also my complaint is bitter, his hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
3
Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat!
4
I would lay my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
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; he would give heed to me.
7
There an upright man could reason with him, and I should be acquitted for ever by my judge.
8
"Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him;
9
on the left hand I seek him, but I cannot behold him; I turn to the right hand, but I cannot see him.
10
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come forth as 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 my bosom the words of his mouth.
