| Job 23:2 | Even to-day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:3 | Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:4 | I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:5 | I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:6 | Would he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:7 | There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:8 | Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: | |||||||||||||||

| Job 23:13 | But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:14 | For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:15 | Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:16 | For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 23:17 | Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face. | |||||||||||||||
