Job 23:1-17

Then Job
<0347>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Even to day
<03117>

[is] my complaint
<07879>

bitter
<04805>_:

my stroke
<03027>

is heavier
<03513> (8804)

than my groaning
<0585>_.

{stroke: Heb. hand}

Oh that
<05414> (8799)

I knew
<03045> (8804)

where I might find
<04672> (8799)

him! [that] I might come
<0935> (8799)

[even] to his seat
<08499>_!

I would order
<06186> (8799)

[my] cause
<04941>

before
<06440>

him, and fill
<04390> (8762)

my mouth
<06310>

with arguments
<08433>_.

I would know
<03045> (8799)

the words
<04405>

[which] he would answer
<06030> (8799)

me, and understand
<0995> (8799)

what he would say
<0559> (8799)

unto me.

Will he plead
<07378> (8799)

against
<05978>

me with [his] great
<07230>

power
<03581>_?

No; but he would put
<07760> (8799)

[strength] in me.

There the righteous
<03477>

might dispute
<03198> (8737)

with him; so should I be delivered
<06403> (8762)

for ever
<05331>

from my judge
<08199> (8802)_.

Behold, I go
<01980> (8799)

forward
<06924>_,

but he [is] not [there]; and backward
<0268>_,

but I cannot perceive
<0995> (8799)

him:

On the left hand
<08040>_,

where he doth work
<06213> (8800)_,

but I cannot behold
<02372> (8799)

[him]: he hideth
<05848> (8799)

himself on the right hand
<03225>_,

that I cannot see
<07200> (8799)

[him]:

But he knoweth
<03045> (8804)

the way
<01870>

that I take
<05978>_:

[when] he hath tried
<0974> (8804)

me, I shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

as gold
<02091>_.

{that...: Heb. that is with me}

My foot
<07272>

hath held
<0270> (8804)

his steps
<0838>_,

his way
<01870>

have I kept
<08104> (8804)_,

and not declined
<05186> (8686)_.

Neither have I gone back
<04185> (8686)

from the commandment
<04687>

of his lips
<08193>_;

I have esteemed
<06845> (8804)

the words
<0561>

of his mouth
<06310>

more than my necessary
<02706>

[food]. {esteemed: Heb. hid, or, laid up} {my...: or, my appointed portion}

But he [is] in one
<0259>

[mind], and who can turn
<07725> (8686)

him? and [what] his soul
<05315>

desireth
<0183> (8765)_,

even [that] he doeth
<06213> (8799)_.

For he performeth
<07999> (8686)

[the thing that is] appointed
<02706>

for me: and many
<07227>

such
<02007>

[things are] with him.

Therefore am I troubled
<0926> (8735)

at his presence
<06440>_:

when I consider
<0995> (8709)_,

I am afraid
<06342> (8799)

of him.

For God
<0410>

maketh my heart
<03820>

soft
<07401> (8689)_,

and the Almighty
<07706>

troubleth
<0926> (8689)

me:

Because I was not cut off
<06789> (8738)

before
<06440>

the darkness
<02822>_,

[neither] hath he covered
<03680> (8765)

the darkness
<0652>

from my face
<06440>_.
