< Job 23 >

1 And Job made answer and said,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 Even today my outcry is bitter; his hand is hard on my sorrow.
Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
3 If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so 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 put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments.
Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
5 I would see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of what he would say to 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 make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.
¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
7 There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.
There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
8 See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;
Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
9 I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.
[the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
10 For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested 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 feet have gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other.
On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.
12 I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.
[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 his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.
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 what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.
For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
15 For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.
There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
16 For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.
And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
17 For I am overcome by the dark, and by the black night which is covering my face.
For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
