Job 23:8-17
8 “Behold, aI go forward, but he is not there,and backward, but I do not perceive him;
9on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him;
he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.
10But he bknows cthe way that I dtake;
when he has etried me, I shall come out as gold.
11My foot fhas held fast to his steps;
I have kept his way and have gnot turned aside.
12I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have htreasured the words of his mouth more than my iportion of food.
13But he is unchangeable, ▼
▼Or one
and kwho can turn him back?What he ldesires, that he does.
14For he will complete what he mappoints for me,
and many such things are nin his mind.
15Therefore I am terrified at his presence;
when I consider, I am in dread of him.
16God has made my oheart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me;
17yet I am not silenced because of the darkness,
nor because thick darkness covers my face.
