Job 23

1 Then Job replied again,

And he answered Job and he said.

2 “Today I am again complaining bitterly/strongly [to God]; I [continue] groaning, but he [SYN] [continues to] (punish me/cause me to suffer).

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

3 I (wish that I knew/want to know) where I could meet/talk with him, so that I could go to the place where he lives.

Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.

4 If I could do that, I would tell him why [I know that] I am innocent; I would tell [MTY] to him all my (arguments/evidence [to show that I have not done what is evil]).

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

5 Then I would find out what he would reply to me [DOU].

I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.

6 Would he use his great power to argue with me? No, he would listen to me carefully.

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

7 I am (an honest/a righteous) man; so I would be able to discuss things with him [fairly], and then he would declare that I am innocent, [and that decision would endure] forever.

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

8 “But, I have gone to the east, and he is not there; I have gone to the west, but I have not found him there.

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

9 I have gone north and I have gone south, but I have not seen him anywhere.

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

10 But he knows how I have conducted my life; and when he has finished testing me, [he] will [see that] I [am] as pure as [SIM] gold [whose impurities have all been burned out].

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

11 I [SYN] have faithfully walked on the path that he showed me; I have not stopped [obeying] him.

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

12 I have always obeyed what he [SYN] commanded; I have treasured the words that he has spoken.

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

13 “He never changes. There is no one who can [RHQ] stop him [from doing what he desires]. Whatever he wants to do, he does.

And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.

14 And he will finish doing for me the things that he has planned for me; [and I am sure that] he has thought about doing many things for me.

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

15 So I am terrified in his presence; when I think [about what he can do], I am very afraid [DOU].

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

16 Almighty God has caused me [SYN] to feel terrified [DOU].

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

17 [It is as though] there is only thick darkness in front of me, but it is God that I am afraid of, not the darkness.”

For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
