Job 23

1 And he answered Job and he said.

Then Job answered:

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

“Even today my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

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

If only I knew where to find Him, so that I could go to His seat.

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

I would plead my case 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 learn how He would answer, and consider what He would say.

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 His great power? No, He would certainly take note of me.

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

Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

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

If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot find Him.

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

When He is at work in the north, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him.

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

Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, I will 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 feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept His way without turning 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 departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.

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 unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.

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

For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.

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

Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this, I fear Him.

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

God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.

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

Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
