< 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.
Still is my complaint bitter; But my wound is deeper 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 go before his throne!
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 should know what 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 with his mighty power? No! he would have regard to me.
7 There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
Then would an upright man contend with him, And I should be fully acquitted by my judge.
8 Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
But, behold, I go eastward, and he is not there; And westward, 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].
To the north, where he worketh, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the south, and I cannot see him.
10 That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
But he knoweth the way which is in my heart; When 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 feet have trodden in his steps; His way I have kept, and have not turned aside from it.
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 neglected the precepts of his lips; Above my own law have I esteemed the words of his mouth.
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 of one mind, and who can turn him? And what he desireth, that he doeth.
14 For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
He performeth that which is appointed for me; And many such things are in his mind!
15 There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
Therefore I am in terror on account of him; 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 maketh my heart faint; Yea, the Almighty terrifieth me;
17 For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
Because I was not taken away before darkness came, And he hath not hidden darkness from mine eyes.
