Then JobH347 answeredH6030 and said,H559
2
EvenH1571 to dayH3117 is my complaintH7879 bitter:H4805 my strokeH3027 is heavierH3513 thanH5921 my groaning.H585
3
Oh that I knewH3045 where I might findH4672 him! that I might comeH935 even to his seat!H8499
4
I would orderH6186 my causeH4941 beforeH6440 him, and fillH4390 my mouthH6310 with arguments.H8433
5
I would knowH3045 the wordsH4405 which he would answerH6030 me, and understandH995 whatH4100 he would sayH559 to me.
6
Will he pleadH7378 againstH5978 me with his greatH7227 power?H3581 No;H3808 but he would putH7760 strength in me.
7
ThereH8033 the righteousH3477 might disputeH3198 with him; so should I be deliveredH6403 for everH5331 from my judge.H8199
8
Behold,H2005 I goH1980 forward,H6924 but he is not there; and backward,H268 but I cannotH3808 perceiveH995 him:
9
On the leftH8040 hand,H8040 where he does work,H6213 but I cannotH3808 beholdH2372 him: he hidesH5848 himselfH5315 on the rightH3225 hand,H3225 that I cannotH3808 seeH7200 him:
10
But he knowsH3045 the wayH1870 that I take:H5978 when he has triedH974 me, I shall comeH3318 forthH3318 as gold.H2091
11
My footH7272 has heldH270 his steps,H838 his wayH1870 have I kept,H8104 and not declined.H5186
12
NeitherH3808 have I goneH4185 backH4185 from the commandmentH4687 of his lips;H8193 I have esteemedH6845 the wordsH561 of his mouthH6310 more than my necessaryH2706 food.
13
But he is in oneH259 mind, and whoH4310 can turnH7725 him? and what his soulH5315 desires,H183 even that he does.H6213
14
For he performesH7999 the thing that is appointedH2706 for me: and manyH7227 suchH2007 things are with him.
15
ThereforeH5921 H3651 am I troubledH926 at his presence:H6440 when I consider,H995 I am afraidH6342 of him.
16
For GodH410 makes my heartH3820 soft,H7401 and the AlmightyH7706 troublesH926 me:
17
BecauseH3588 I was not cutH6789 off beforeH6440 the darkness,H2822 neither has he coveredH3680 the darknessH652 from my face.H6440
