1Then Job347 answered6030 and said559,
2Even to day3117 is my complaint7879 bitter4805: my stroke3027 is heavier3513 than my groaning585.
3Oh that5414 I knew3045 where I might find4672 him! that I might come935 even to his seat8499!
4I would order6186 my cause4941 before6440 him, and fill4390 my mouth6310 with arguments8433.
5I would know3045 the words4405 which he would answer6030 me, and understand995 what he would say559 unto me.
6Will he plead7378 against5978 me with his great7230 power3581? No; but he would put7760 strength in me.
7There the righteous3477 might dispute3198 with him; so should I be delivered6403 for ever5331 from my judge8199.
8Behold, I go1980 forward6924, but he is not there; and backward268, but I cannot perceive995 him:
9On the left hand8040, where he doth work6213, but I cannot behold2372 him: he hideth5848 himself on the right hand3225, that I cannot see7200 him:
10But he knoweth3045 the way1870 that I take5978: when he hath tried974 me, I shall come forth3318 as gold2091.
11My foot7272 hath held270 his steps838, his way1870 have I kept8104, and not declined5186.
12Neither have I gone back4185 from the commandment4687 of his lips8193; I have esteemed6845 the words561 of his mouth6310 more than my necessary2706 food.
13But he is in one259 mind, and who can turn7725 him? and what his soul5315 desireth183, even that he doeth6213.
14For he performeth7999 the thing that is appointed2706 for me: and many7227 such2007 things are with him.
15Therefore am I troubled926 at his presence6440: when I consider995, I am afraid6342 of him.
16For God410 maketh my heart3820 soft7401, and the Almighty7706 troubleth926 me:
17Because I was not cut off6789 before6440 the darkness2822, neither hath he covered3680 the darkness652 from my face6440.
