Job 23:1-9 ▼

1 Iob aunswered, & said:

2 Though my talke be this day in bitternesse, and my plague greater then my groning.

3 O that I might know him, and finde him, and that I might come before his seate:

4 I woulde pleade my cause before hym, and fill my mouth with argumentes:

5 I woulde knowe what aunswere he woulde geue me, and vnderstande what he woulde say vnto me.

6 Will he pleade against me with his great power? No, but he will make me the stronger.

7 There the righteous might dispute with him, so shoulde I be deliuered for euer from my iudge.

8 Behold, though I go forwarde I find him not: If I go backwarde, I can get no knowledge of hym:

9 If I go on the left side where he doth his worke, I can not attayne vnto him: Againe, if I go on the right side, he hydeth him selfe that I can not see hym.
