Job 23 (kjv)

23

Then JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,2Even to dayH3117 is my complaintH7879 bitterH4805: my strokeH3027 is heavierH3513 than my groaningH585.3Oh thatH5414 I knewH3045 where I might findH4672 him! that I might comeH935 even to his seatH8499!4I would orderH6186 my causeH4941 beforeH6440 him, and fillH4390 my mouthH6310 with argumentsH8433.5I would knowH3045 the wordsH4405 which he would answerH6030 me, and understandH995 what he would sayH559 unto me.

6Will he pleadH7378 againstH5978 me with his greatH7230 powerH3581? No; but he would putH7760 strength in me.7There the righteousH3477 might disputeH3198 with him; so should I be deliveredH6403 for everH5331 from my judgeH8199.

8Behold, I goH1980 forwardH6924, but he is not there; and backwardH268, but I cannot perceiveH995 him:9On the left handH8040, where he doth workH6213, but I cannot beholdH2372 him: he hidethH5848 himself on the right handH3225, that I cannot seeH7200 him:10But he knowethH3045 the wayH1870 that I takeH5978: when he hath triedH974 me, I shall come forthH3318 as goldH2091.

11My footH7272 hath heldH270 his stepsH838, his wayH1870 have I keptH8104, and not declinedH5186.12Neither have I gone backH4185 from the commandmentH4687 of his lipsH8193; I have esteemedH6845 the wordsH561 of his mouthH6310 more than my necessaryH2706 food.

13But he is in oneH259 mind, and who can turnH7725 him? and what his soulH5315 desirethH183, even that he doethH6213.14For he performethH7999 the thing that is appointedH2706 for me: and manyH7227 suchH2007 things are with him.15Therefore am I troubledH926 at his presenceH6440: when I considerH995, I am afraidH6342 of him.16For GodH410 maketh my heartH3820 softH7401, and the AlmightyH7706 troublethH926 me:17Because I was not cut offH6789 beforeH6440 the darknessH2822, neither hath he coveredH3680 the darknessH652 from my faceH6440.
