Job 23

Job wishes to be tried at God's tribunal.

⁠

[1]⁠

Then Job answered, and said:

[2]⁠

Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.

[3]⁠

Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?

[4]⁠

I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.

[5]⁠

That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

⁠

[6]⁠

I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.

[7]⁠

Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.

[8]⁠

But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.

[9]⁠

If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not see him.

[10]⁠

But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:

⁠

[11]⁠

My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.

[12]⁠

I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.

[13]⁠

For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever his soul hath desired, that hath he done.

[14]⁠

And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him.

[15]⁠

And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him I am made pensive with fear.

⁠

[16]⁠

God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me.

[17]⁠

For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face.
