< Job 23 >

1 Then answered Job, and said,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 Even now is my complaint bitter: my suffering is heavier than my groans.
Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
3 Oh who would grant that I knew where I might find him! that I might attain to his Judgment throne!
Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.
4 I would put in order before him my cause, and my mouth would I fill with arguments.
Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
5 I should know the words which he might answer me, and understand what he might say unto 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 with his power contend against me? he would truly not lay such doings to my charge.
¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
7 There would an upright one argue with him; and I should be allowed to escape for ever by my judge.
There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
8 But, lo, I go eastward—and he is not there; and to the west— and I cannot perceive him;
Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
9 When he doth great things at the north, I behold him not; he hideth himself in the south—and I see him not.
[the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: were he to probe me, I should come forth as gold.
That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
11 On his steps my foot hath held fast: his way have I kept, and swerved not.
On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.
12 From the commandment of his lips have I also not moved away: as a fixed statute for me have I treasured up the sayings of his mouth.
[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 is unchangeably one, and who can turn him? And what his will desireth, even that he doth.
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 will bring to completion what hath been destined for me: and like these hath he many other things with him.
For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
15 Therefore am I terrified at his presence: I will reflect, and be in dread of him.
There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
16 Still God hath made timid my heart, and the Almighty hath terrified me;
And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
17 Because I was not destroyed before this darkness, and because he hath not hidden from my face [this] gloom.
For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
