1
Then
Job
answered
and
said
,
2
Even to
day
is my
complaint
bitter:
my
stroke
is
heavier
than my
groaning.
3
Oh
that
I
knew
where I might
find
him! that I might
come
even to his
seat!
4
I would
order
my
cause
before
him, and
fill
my
mouth
with
arguments.
5
I would
know
the
words
which he would
answer
me, and
understand
what he would
say
unto me.
6
Will he
plead
against
me with his
great
power?
No; but he would
put
strength in me.
7
There the
righteous
might
dispute
with him; so should I be
delivered
for
ever
from my
judge
.
8
Behold, I
go
forward,
but he is not there; and
backward,
but I cannot
perceive
him:
9
On the left
hand,
where he doth
work
, but I cannot
behold
him: he
hideth
himself on the right
hand,
that I cannot
see
him:
10
But he
knoweth
the
way
that I
take:
when he hath
tried
me, I shall come
forth
as
gold.
11
My
foot
hath
held
his
steps,
his
way
have I
kept
, and not
declined
.
12
Neither have I gone
back
from the
commandment
of his
lips;
I have
esteemed
the
words
of his
mouth
more than my
necessary
food.
13
But he is in
one
mind, and who can
turn
him? and what his
soul
desireth
, even that he
doeth
.
14
For he
performeth
the thing that is
appointed
for me: and
many
such
things are with him
15
Therefore am I
troubled
at his
presence:
when I
consider
, I am
afraid
of him.
16
For
God
maketh my
heart
soft
, and the
Almighty
troubleth
me:
17
Because I was not cut
off
before
the
darkness,
neither hath he
covered
the
darkness
from my
face.
