Then Jobansweredand said, Eventoday is my complaintbitter: my strokeis heavierthanmy groaning. Oh thatI knewwhere I might findhim! that I might come even tohis seat! I would order my causebeforehim, and fillmy mouthwith arguments. I would knowthe words which he would answerme, and understandwhathe would sayunto me. Will he pleadagainstme with his greatpower? No; buthewould put strength in me. Therethe righteousmight disputewithhim; so should I be deliveredforeverfrom my judge. Behold, I goforward, but he is not there ; and backward, but I cannotperceivehim: On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannotbehold him : he hidethhimself on the right hand, that I cannotsee him : Buthe knoweththe waythat I take: when he hath triedme, I shall come forthas gold. My foothath heldhis steps, his wayhave I kept, and notdeclined. Neitherhave I gone backfrom the commandmentof his lips; I have esteemedthe wordsof his mouthmore than my necessary food . But he is in one mind , and whocan turnhim? and what his souldesireth, even that he doeth. Forhe performeth the thing that is appointedfor me: and manysuch things are withhim. Therefoream I troubledat his presence: when I consider, I am afraidofhim. For Godmaketh my heart softand the Almightytroublethme: BecauseI was notcut offbeforethe darkness, neither hath he coveredthe darknessfrom my face.
