Job 23

1 ♥ 📝 T hen Job^H347 answered^H6030 and said,^H559

2 ♥ 📝 Even to-day^H3117 is my complaint^H7879 rebellious:^H4805 My stroke^H3027 is heavier^H3513 than my groaning.^H585

3 ♥ 📝 Oh that^H5414 I knew^H3045 where I might find^H4672 him! That I might come^H935 even to his seat!^H8499

4 ♥ 📝 I would set my cause^H4941 in order^H6186 before^H6440 him, And fill^H4390 my mouth^H6310 with arguments.^H8433

5 ♥ 📝 I would know^H3045 the words^H4405 which he would answer^H6030 me, And understand^H995 what he would say^H559 unto me.

6 ♥ 📝 Would he contend^H7378 with^H5978 me in the greatness^H7230 of his power?^H3581 Nay; but he would give^H7760 heed unto me.

7 ♥ 📝 There the upright^H3477 might reason^H3198 with him; So should I be delivered^H6403 for ever^H5331 from my judge.^H8199

8 ♥ 📝 Behold, I go^H1980 forward,^H6924 but he is not [there]; And backward,^H268 but I cannot perceive^H995 him;

9 ♥ 📝 On the left hand,^H8040 when he doth work,^H6213 but I cannot behold^H2372 him; He hideth^H5848 himself on the right hand,^H3225 that I cannot see^H7200 him.

10 ♥ 📝 But he knoweth^H3045 the way^H1870 that I take;^H5978 When he hath tried^H974 me, I shall come forth^H3318 as gold.^H2091

11 ♥ 📝 My foot^H7272 hath held^H270 fast to his steps;^H838 His way^H1870 have I kept,^H8104 and turned not aside.^H5186

12 ♥ 📝 I have not gone back^H4185 from the commandment^H4687 of his lips;^H8193 I have treasured^H6845 up the words^H561 of his mouth^H6310 more than my necessary^H2706 food.

13 ♥ 📝 But he is in one^H259 [mind], and who can turn^H7725 him? And what his soul^H5315 desireth,^H183 even that he doeth.^H6213

14 ♥ 📝 For he performeth^H7999 that which is appointed^H2706 for me: And many^H7227 such^H2007 things are with him.

15 ♥ 📝 Therefore am I terrified^H926 at his presence;^H6440 When I consider,^H995 I am afraid^H6342 of him.

16 ♥ 📝 For God^H410 hath made my heart^H3820 faint,^H7401 And the Almighty^H7706 hath terrified^H926 me;

17 ♥ 📝 Because I was not cut off^H6789 before^H6440 the darkness,^H2822 Neither did he cover^H3680 the thick darkness^H652 from my face.^H6440
