Job Capítulo 23

23 : 1 Then Job answered and said,

23 : 2 Even today my complaint is rebellious. My stroke is heavier than my groaning.

23 : 3 O that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat!

23 : 4 I would set my case in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

23 : 5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

23 : 6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would give heed to me.

23 : 7 There the upright might reason with him. So I should be delivered forever from my judge.

23 : 8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive him,

23 : 9 on the left hand, when he works, but I cannot behold him. He hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

23 : 10 But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

23 : 11 My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned aside.

23 : 12 I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips, I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

23 : 13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? And what his soul desires, even that he does.

23 : 14 For he performs that which is appointed for me. And many such things are with him.

23 : 15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.

23 : 16 For God has made my heart faint, and the Almighty has terrified me,

23 : 17 because I was not cut off before the darkness, nor did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
