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 to-day is my complaint bitter; my hand is become heavy because of 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 even to His seat!

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

I would order my 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 which 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 contend with me in 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 the upright might reason with Him; so should I be delivered for ever 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 doth work, but I cannot behold Him, He turneth Himself to the right hand, but I cannot see Him.

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

For He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath 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 hath held fast to His steps, His way have I kept, and turned not 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 at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth.

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

For He will perform 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 am I affrighted 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.

Yea, God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath affrighted 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 did He cover the thick darkness from my face.
