Job 23:1-9 ▼

1 And Job answered and said:

2 “Even this day my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy upon my groaning.

3 Who will grant that I might know and find Him, and come unto His seat!

4 I would set forth to his face my case, and my mouth I would fill with arguments.

5 I would know the words He would answer me, and I would understand what He would say to me.

6 In the abundance of strength would He contend with me? No, surely He would set it upon me.

7 There the upright could argue with Him, and I would escape forever from the One judging me.

8 Behold, east I go, and He is not there, and west, and I do not perceive Him.

9 In the north, in His working, I do not behold Him; He turns to the south, and I do not see Him.
