< Job 23 >

1 Then Job answered,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 “Even today my complaint is rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.
4 I would set my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would tell me.
I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.
6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me.
¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
7 There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
8 “If I go east, he is not there. If I go west, I cannot find him.
Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
9 He works to the north, but I cannot see him. He turns south, but I cannot catch a glimpse of him.
[the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
10 But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.
That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
11 My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned away.
On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.
12 I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
[the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.
13 But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.
And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.
14 For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him.
For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.
There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
16 For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.
And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
