      | ¶ | Then Job answered and said, | |
 | Even to day [is] my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. | ||
| Oh that I knew where I might find him! [that] I might come [even] to his seat! | ||
| I would order [my] cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. | ||
| I would know the words [which] he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. | ||
| Will he plead against me with [his] great power? No; but he would put [strength] in me. | ||
| There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. | ||
| Behold, I go forward, but he [is] not [there]; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: | ||
| On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold [him]: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see [him]: | ||
| But he knoweth the way that I take: [when] he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. | ||
| My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. | ||
| Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary [food]. | ||
| But he [is] in one [mind], and who can turn him? and [what] his soul desireth, even [that] he doeth. | ||
| For he performeth [the thing that is] appointed for me: and many such [things are] with him. | ||
| Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. | ||
| For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: | ||
| Because I was not cut off before the darkness, [neither] hath he covered the darkness from my face. |
