fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Then Job answered and said, |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Even to-day is my complaint rebellious: My stroke is heavier than my groaning. |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat! |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData I would know the words which he would answer me, And understand what he would say unto me. |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me. |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData There the upright might reason with him; So should I be delivered for ever from my judge. |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Behold, I go forward, but he is not `there'; And backward, but I cannot perceive him; |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData 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 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But he knoweth the way that I take; When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData 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 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But he is in one `mind', and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For he performeth that which is appointed for me: And many such things are with him. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Therefore am I terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him. |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For God hath made my heart faint, And the Almighty hath terrified me; |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face. |
