Job 23:1-8

23:1

Then Job
<0347>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

23:2

Even to day
<03117>

[is] my complaint
<07879>

bitter
<04805>_:

my stroke
<03027>

is heavier
<03513> (8804)

than my groaning
<0585>_.

{stroke: Heb. hand}

23:3

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>_!

23:4

I would order
<06186> (8799)

[my] cause
<04941>

before
<06440>

him, and fill
<04390> (8762)

my mouth
<06310>

with arguments
<08433>_.

23:5

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.

23:6

Will he plead
<07378> (8799)

against
<05978>

me with [his] great
<07230>

power
<03581>_?

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

[strength] in me.

23:7

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)_.

23:8

Behold, I go
<01980> (8799)

forward
<06924>_,

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

but I cannot perceive
<0995> (8799)

him:
