{Job 23:1} Then Job answered and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:2} Even to day [is] my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:3} Oh that I knew where I might find him! [that] I might come [even] to his seat! ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:4} I would order [my] cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:5} I would know the words [which] he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:6} Will he plead against me with [his] great power? No; but he would put [strength] in me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:7} There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:8} Behold, I go forward, but he [is] not [there;] and backward, but I cannot perceive him: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:9} 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: ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:10} But he knoweth the way that I take: [when] he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:11} My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:12} Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary [food. ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:13} But he [is] in one [mind,] and who can turn him? and [what] his soul desireth, even [that] he doeth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:14} For he performeth [the thing that is] appointed for me: and many such [things are] with him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:15} Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:16} For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 23:17} Because I was not cut off before the darkness, [neither] hath he covered the darkness from my face.
