Job 23

1 And he answered Job and he said.

Then responded Job, 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 rebellion? His hand, 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! I would come even unto his dwelling-place;

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

I would set out, before him, a plea, and, my mouth, would I fill 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 note the words wherewith he would respond to me, and would mark 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, with fulness of might, contend with me? Nay, surely, he, would give heed 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 reason with him, so should I deliver myself completely from my judge.

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

Behold! eastward, I go, but he is not there, and, westward, but I perceive him not;

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

On the north, where he worketh, but I get no vision, He hideth himself on the south 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 choose, Having tried me, as gold, I shall come forth.

11 On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.

Of his steps, my foot taketh hold, His way, have I kept, and not swerved;

12 [the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.

The command of his lips, and would not go back, and, in my bosom, have I treasured the words of his lips.

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 one, and who can turn him? What his soul desired, he hath done.

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

Surely he will accomplish what is decreed for me, and, many such things, hath he in store.

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

For this cause, from his presence, am I driven in fear, I diligently consider and am kept back from him in dread:

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

Yea, GOD, hath made timid my heart, and, the Almighty, hath put me in terror.

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, nor, before my face, did the gloom form a shroud.
