CHAPTER 23

Then Job

answered:

“Even

today

my complaint

is bitter.

His hand

is heavy

despite

my groaning.

If only

I knew

where to find Him,

so that I could go

to

His seat.

I would plead

my case

before Him

and fill my mouth

with

arguments.

I would learn

how

He would answer,

and consider

what

He would say.

Would He contend

with me

in His great

power?

No,

He

would certainly

take note

of me.

Then

an upright man

could reason

with Him,

and I would be delivered

forever

from my Judge.

If

I go

east,

He is not there,

and if I go west,

I cannot

find

Him.

When He is at work

in the north,

I cannot

behold Him;

when He turns

to the south,

I cannot

see Him.

Yet

He knows

the way I have taken;

when He has tested me,

I will come forth

as gold.

My feet

have followed

in His tracks;

I have kept

His way

without

turning aside.

I have not

departed

from the command

of His lips;

I have treasured

the words

of His mouth

more than my daily bread.

But He is unchangeable,

and who

can oppose Him?

He does

what He

desires.

For

He carries out

His decree against me,

and He has

many

such plans.

Therefore

I am terrified

in His presence;

when I consider this,

I fear

Him.

God

has made my heart

faint;

the Almighty

has terrified me.

Yet

I am not

silenced

by

the darkness,

by the thick darkness

that covers

my face.
