1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1Job's response was to say:
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2"I'm still complaining bitterly today; my hand is heavy because of groaning.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3If only I knew where to find him, I would visit him where he has taken his seat.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4I would lay out my case before him; and fill my mouth with arguments.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5I know how he would answer me; I understand what he'll tell me.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6"Would he use his great power to fight me? No, he'll pay attention to me.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7In that place, the upright can reason with him; and I'll be acquitted once and for all by my judge."
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8"Look! If I go east, he isn't there! If I go to the west, I don't perceive him.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9If he's working in the north, I can't observe him; If he turns south, I can't see him.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10Because he knows the road on which I travel, when he had tested me, I'll come out like gold.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11My feet stay where his footsteps lead; I kept on his pathway and haven't turned aside.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12I haven't wandered away from the commands that he has spoken; I've treasured what he has said more than my own meals."
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13"But he is One—who can change him? He does whatever he wants to do.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14He'll complete what he has planned for me; he has many things in mind for me!
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15That's why I'm terrified at his presence! When I think about it, I'm afraid of him.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16God has caused me to faint; the Almighty makes me terrified!
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17Nevertheless, I haven't been silenced because of the darkness, even when thick darkness obscures my vision."
