Job

And Job answered and said,

Even today [is] my complaint bitter; my stroke is heavier than my groaning.

Oh that I knew [where] I might find Him, [that] I might come even to His seat!

I would order [my] cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

I would know the words [which] He would answer me, and understand what He would say to me.

Will He plead against me with [His] great power? No, surely He would give heed to me.

There the righteous might reason with Him; and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

on the left hand, where He works, but I cannot behold Him. He turns to the right, but I do not see [Him].

But He knows the way that I take; [when] He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

My foot has held fast in His steps; I have kept His way, and have not fallen away;

nor have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I treasured the words of His mouth more than my portion.

But He [is] in one [mind], and who can turn Him? Yea, what His soul desires, He does [it].

For He fulfilled my lot, and many [things] like these are with Him.

Therefore I am troubled at His presence; when I look, I am afraid of Him.

For God makes my heart soft, and the Almighty troubles me;

because I was not cut off before the darkness; yea, He covered the darkness from my face.
