Job 23

1 And he answered Job and he said.

And Job made answer and said,

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

Even today my outcry is bitter; his hand is hard on my sorrow.

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

If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so 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 put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of 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 see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of 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 make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.

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

There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.

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

See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;

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

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.

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

For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like 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 gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other.

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 never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.

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 his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.

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

For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.

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

For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.

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

For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.

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

For I am overcome by the dark, and by the black night which is covering my face.
