< Job 23 >

1 Then Job answered and said:
And he answered Job and he said.
2 Even to-day is my complaint bitter; my hand is become heavy because of my groaning.
Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat!
Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.
4 I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
5 I would know the words which He would answer me, and understand what He would say unto me.
I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.
6 Would He contend with me in His great power? Nay; but He would give heed unto me.
¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
7 There the upright might reason with Him; so should I be delivered for ever from my Judge.
There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
8 Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
9 On the left hand, when He doth work, but I cannot behold Him, He turneth Himself to the right hand, but I cannot see Him.
[the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
10 For He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
11 My foot hath held fast to His steps, His way have I kept, and turned not aside.
On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned 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.
[the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.
13 But He is at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth.
And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.
14 For He will perform that which is appointed for me; and many such things are with Him.
For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
15 Therefore am I affrighted at His presence; when I consider, I am afraid of Him.
There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
16 Yea, God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath affrighted me;
And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did He cover the thick darkness from my face.
For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
