¹ And Job answered and said:² Even today my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy over my groaning.³ Oh that I knew where I might find Him, I would come into His seat;⁴ I would order my cause before Him, and I would fill my mouth with arguments.⁵ I would know the words He would answer me, and understand what He would say to me.⁶ Would He plead against me with greatness of strength? No, surely He would put it in me.⁷ There the righteous might reason with Him; and I would be forever delivered from my Judge.

⁸ Behold, I go forward, but He is not there ; and backward, but I do not see Him;⁹ to the left where He works, but I cannot see; He turns to the right, but I do not see Him .¹⁰ But He knows the way with me. When I am tried, I shall come forth as gold.¹¹ My foot has held fast in His steps; I have kept His way and have not turned;¹² nor have I departed from the command of His lips; I treasured the Words of His mouth more than my portion.

¹³ But He is in one mind , and who can turn Him? Yea, His soul desires, and He does it .¹⁴ For He fulfilled my lot, and many like these are with Him.¹⁵ On account of this I am troubled from His presence; I consider, and am in dread of Him.¹⁶ For God makes my heart weak, and the Almighty troubles me.¹⁷ In this I was not cut off by darkness; yea, He covered the thick darkness from my face.
