Job 23

Verses of Job 23 of the ASV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Then Job answered and said,
2 - Even to-day is my complaint rebellious: My stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3 - Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
4 - I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
5 - I would know the words which he would answer me, And understand what he would say unto me.
6 - Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
7 - There the upright might reason with him; So should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
8 - Behold, I go forward, but he is not `there'; And backward, but I cannot perceive him;
9 - On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.
10 - But he knoweth the way that I take; When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 - My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside.
12 - I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 - But he is in one `mind', and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
14 - For he performeth that which is appointed for me: And many such things are with him.
15 - Therefore am I terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 - For God hath made my heart faint, And the Almighty hath terrified me;
17 - Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
