V.1 Then Job 347 answered 6030-4 and said, 559-4

23:2 Even to day 3117 [is] my complaint 7879 bitter: 4805 my stroke 3027 is heavier 3513-1 than my groaning. 585

23:3 Oh that 5414-4 I knew 3045-1 where I might find 4672-4 him! [that] I might come 935-4 [even] to his seat! 8499

23:4 I would order 6186-4 [my] cause 4941 before 6440 him, and fill 4390-17 my mouth 6310 with arguments. 8433

23:5 I would know 3045-4 the words 4405 [which] he would answer 6030-4 me, and understand 995-4 what he would say 559- 4 unto me.

23:6 Will he plead 7378-4 against me 5978 with [his] great 7230 power? 3581 No; but he would put 7760-4 [strength] in me.

23:7 There the righteous 3477 might dispute 3198-12 with him; so should I be delivered 6403-17 for ever 5331 from my judge. 8199-6

23:8 Behold, I go 1980-4 forward, 6924 but he [is] not [there]; and backward, 268 but I cannot perceive 995-4 him:

23:9 On the left hand, 8040 where he doth work, 6213-2 but I cannot behold 2372-4 [him]: he hideth 5848-4 himself on the right hand, 3225 that I cannot see 7200-4 [him]:

23:10 But he knoweth 3045-1 the way 1870 that I take: 5978 [when] he hath tried 974-1 me, I shall come forth 3318-4 as gold. 2091

23:11 My foot 7272 hath held 270-1 his steps, 838 his way 1870 have I kept, 8104-1 and not declined. 5186-55

23:12 Neither have I gone back 4185-55 from the commandment 4687 of his lips; 8193 I have esteemed 6845-1 the words 561 of his mouth 6310 more than my necessary 2706 [food].

23:13 But he [is] in one 259 [mind], and who can turn 7725-55 him? and [what] his soul 5315 desireth, 183-14 even [that] he doeth. 6213-4

23:14 For he performeth 7999-55 [the thing that is] appointed 2706 for me: and many 7227 such 2007 [things are] with him.

23:15 Therefore am I troubled 926-11 at his presence: 6440 when I consider, 995-113 I am afraid 6342-4 of him.

23:16 For God 410 maketh my heart 3820 soft, 7401-52 and the Almighty 7706 troubleth 926-52 me:
