Job 23

1 And he answered Job and he said.

Then Job answered and said,

2 Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.

Even today my complaint is rebellious. My stroke is heavier than my groaning.

3 Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.

O that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat!

4 Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.

I would set my case in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

5 I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.

I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

6 ¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would give heed to me.

7 There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.

There the upright might reason with him. So I should be delivered forever from my judge.

8 Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive him,

9 [the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].

on the left hand, when he works, but I cannot behold him. He hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

10 That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

11 On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.

My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned aside.

12 [the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.

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.

13 And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? And what his soul desires, even that he does.

14 For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.

For he performs that which is appointed for me. And many such things are with him.

15 There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.

Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.

16 And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.

For God has made my heart faint, and the Almighty has terrified me,

17 For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.

because I was not cut off before the darkness, nor did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
