< Job 23 >
1 Then Job answered and said,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 Yes, I know that pleading is out of my reach; and his hand has been made heavy upon my groaning.
Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
3 Who would then know that I might find him, and come to an end [of the matter]?
Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.
4 And I would plead my own cause, and he would fill my mouth with arguments.
Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
5 And I would know the remedies which he would speak to me, and I would perceive 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 Though he should come on me in [his] great strength, then he would not threaten me;
¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
7 for truth and reproof are from him; and he would bring forth my judgment to an end.
There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
8 For if I shall go first, and exist no longer, still what do I know [concerning] the latter end?
Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
9 When he wrought on the left hand, then I observed [it] not: his right hand shall encompass me but I shall not see [it].
[the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
10 For he knows already my way; and he has tried me as gold.
That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
11 And I will go forth according to his commandments, for I have kept his ways; and I shall not turn aside from his commandments,
On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.
12 neither shall I transgress; but I have hid his words in my bosom.
[the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.
13 And if too he has thus judged, who is he that has contradicted, for he has both willed [a thing] and done it.
And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.
For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
15 Therefore am I troubled at him; and when I was reproved, I thought of him. Therefore let me take good heed before him: I will consider, and be afraid of him.
There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
16 But the Lord has softened my heart, and the Almighty has troubled me.
And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
17 For I knew not that darkness would come upon me, and thick darkness has covered [me] before my face.
For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
