- 1Then Job answered and said:
- 2Even to-day is my complaint bitter; my hand is become heavy because of my groaning.
- 3Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat!
- 4I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
- 5I would know the words which He would answer me, and understand what He would say unto me.
- 6Would He contend with me in His great power? Nay; but He would give heed unto me.
- 7There the upright might reason with Him; so should I be delivered for ever from my Judge.
- 8Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
- 9On the left hand, when He doth work, but I cannot behold Him, He turneth Himself to the right hand, but I cannot see Him.
- 10For He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
- 11My foot hath held fast to His steps, His way have I kept, and turned not aside.
- 12I have not gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured up the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
- 13But He is at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth.

- 14For He will perform that which is appointed for me; and many such things are with Him.
- 15Therefore am I affrighted at His presence; when I consider, I am afraid of Him.
- 16Yea, God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath affrighted me;
- 17Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did He cover the thick darkness from my face.
