[1]But Job answered and said, [2]Though my talk be this day in bitterness, and my plague greater than my groaning, [3]Would God yet I knew how to find him, I would enter unto his place. [4]I would plead the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. [5]I would know the words , that he would answer me, and would understand what he would say unto me. [6]Would he plead against me with his great power? No, but he would put strength in me. [7]There the righteous might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge. [8]Behold, if I go to the east, he is not there: if to the west, yet I cannot perceive him: [9]If to the north where he worketh, yet I cannot see him: he will hide himself in the south, and I cannot behold him. [10]But he knoweth my way , and trieth me, and I shall come forth like the gold. [11]My foot hath followed his steps: his way have I kept, and have not declined. [12]Neither have I departed from the commandment of his lips , and I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than mine appointed food. [13]Yet he is in one mind, and who can turn him? Yea, he doeth what his mind desireth. [14]For he will perform that, which is decreed of me, and many such things are with him. [15]Therefore I am troubled at his presence, and in considering it, I am afraid of him. [16]For God hath softened mine heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me. [17]For I am not cut off in darkness, but he hath hid the darkness from my face.
