American Standard Version
Job, Chapter 23

   1: Then Job answered and said,
   2: Even to-day is my complaint rebellious: My stroke is heavier than my groaning.
   3: Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
   4: I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
   5: I would know the words which he would answer me, And understand what he would say unto me.
   6: Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
   7: There the upright might reason with him; So should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
   8: Behold, I go forward, but he is not [there]; And backward, but I cannot perceive him;
   9: On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.
   10: But he knoweth the way that I take; When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
   11: My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside.
   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.
   13: But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
   14: For he performeth that which is appointed for me: And many such things are with him.
   15: Therefore am I terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him.
   16: For God hath made my heart faint, And the Almighty hath terrified me;
   17: Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
