23:1 Then
Iob
answered,
and
said,
23:2 Euen
to
day
is
my
complaint
bitter:
my
stroke
is
heauier
then
my
groning.
23:3 O
that
I
knewe
where
I
might
find
him!
that
I
might
come
euen
to
his
seate!
23:4 I
would
order
my
cause
before
him,
and
fill
my
mouth
with
arguments.
23:5 I
would
know
the
words
which
he
would
answere
me,
and
vnderstand
what
he
would
say
vnto
me.
23:6 Will
he
plead
against
me
with
his
great
power
No,
but
hee
would
put
strength
in
me.
23:7 There
the
righteous
might
dispute
with
him;
so
should
I
be
deliuered
for
euer
from
my
Iudge.
23:8 Behold,
I
goe
forward,
but
he
is
not
there,
and
backward,
but
I
cannot
perceiue
him:
23:9 On
the
left
hand
where
hee
doeth
worke,
but
I
cannot
behold
him:
he
hideth
himselfe
on
the
right
hand,
that
I
cannot
see
him.
23:10 But
he
knoweth
the
way
that
I
take:
when
he
hath
tried
me,
I
shall
come
forth
as
gold.
23:11 My
foot
hath
held
his
steps,
his
way
haue
I
kept,
and
not
declined.
23:12 Neither
haue
I
gone
backe
from
the
commaundement
of
his
lippes,
I
haue
esteemed
the
words
of
his
mouth
more
then
my
necessary
food.
23:13 But
hee
is
in
one
minde,
and
who
can
turne
him
and
what
his
soule
desireth,
euen
that
he
doeth.
23:14 For
he
performeth
the
thing
that
is
appointed
for
mee:
and
many
such
things
are
with
him.
23:15 Therefore
am
I
troubled
at
his
presence:
when
I
consider,
I
am
afraid
of
him.
23:16 For
God
maketh
my
heart
soft,
and
the
Almighty
troubleth
me:
23:17 Because
I
was
not
cut
off
before
the
darknes,
neither
hath
he
couered
the
darknes
from
my
face.
