231Then Job answered,+2“Even today my complaint is rebellious.His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.+3Oh that I knew where I might find him!That I might come even to his seat!+4I would set my cause in order before him,and fill my mouth with arguments.+5I would know the words which he would answer me,and understand what he would tell me.+6Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?No, but he would listen to me.+7There the upright might reason with him,so I should be delivered forever from my judge.+8“If I go east, he is not there;if west, I can’t find him;+9He works to the north, but I can’t see him.He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.+10But he knows the way that I take.When he has tried me, I shall come out like gold.+11My foot has held fast to his steps.I have kept his way, and not turned away.+12I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips.I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.+13But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?What his soul desires, even that he does.+14For he performs that which is appointed for me.Many such things are with him.+15Therefore I am terrified at his presence.When I consider, I am afraid of him.+16For God has made my heart faint.The Almighty has terrified me.+17Because I was not cut off before the darkness,neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.+
