1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1Then Job answered and said,
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
