Job 23

1 Then Job answered and said,

And he answered Job and he said.

2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.

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

3 O that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

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

4 I would set my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

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

5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

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 plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

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

7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

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

8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:

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

9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

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

10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

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

11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

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

12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

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

13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

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

14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

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

15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

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

16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:

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

17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.

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