Chapter 23

1


 

  And Job answereth and saith: --  

 

 

--

2


 

  Also -- to-day [is] my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing.  

 

 

--

3


 

  O that I had known -- and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,  

 

 

--

4


 

  I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with] arguments.  

 

 

--

5


 

  I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.  

 

 

--

6


 

  In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth [it] in me.  

 

 

--

7


 

  There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Lo, forward I go -- and He is not, And backward -- and I perceive him not.  

 

 

--

9


 

  [To] the left in His working -- and I see not, He is covered [on] the right, and I behold not.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.  

 

 

--

11


 

  On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,  

 

 

--

12


 

  The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.  

 

 

--

13


 

  And He [is] in one [mind], And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired -- and He doth [it].  

 

 

--

14


 

  For He doth complete my portion, And many such things [are] with Him.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him.  

 

 

--

16


 

  And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.  

 

 

--

17


 

  For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.  

 

 

--
