1 Then Job answered and said , 2 Even to day is my complaint bitter : my stroke is heavier than my groaning .1 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 .2 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.34
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 .
