Job 23

1 And he answered Job and he said.

And Job answered and said,

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

Even to-day is my complaint bitter: 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.

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

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

I would order the cause 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 he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

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

Would he plead against me with [his] great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.

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

There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge.

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

Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not 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, where he doth work, but I behold [him] not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see [him] not.

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

But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth 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 hath held to his steps; his way have I kept, 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.

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own 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 he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.

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

For he will perform [what] 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 am I troubled at his presence; I consider, and I am afraid of him.

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

For God hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth 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, neither hath he hidden the gloom from me.
