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 today is my complaint rebellious: 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 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 the greatness of his 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 hideth himself on the right hand, that 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 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 in one [mind], 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 performeth 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 troubled 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.

For God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath troubled 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.
