Job's Eighth Speech: A Response to Eliphaz
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 23
|
|
1. Then Job spoke again:
|
|
|
|
2. "My complaint today is still a bitter one,
|
|
and I try hard not to groan aloud.
|
|
|
|
3. If only I knew where to find God,
|
|
I would go to his court.
|
|
|
|
4. I would lay out my case
|
|
and present my arguments.
|
|
|
|
5. Then I would listen to his reply
|
|
and understand what he says to me.
|
|
|
|
6. Would he use his great power to argue with me?
|
|
No, he would give me a fair hearing.
|
|
|
|
7. Honest people can reason with him,
|
|
so I would be forever acquitted by my judge.
|
|
|
|
8. I go east, but he is not there.
|
|
I go west, but I cannot find him.
|
|
|
|
9. I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden.
|
|
I look to the south, but he is concealed.
|
|
|
|
10. "But he knows where I am going.
|
|
And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.
|
|
|
|
11. For I have stayed on God's paths;
|
|
I have followed his ways and not turned aside.
|
|
|
|
12. I have not departed from his commands,
|
|
but have treasured his words more than daily food.
|
|
|
|
13. But once he has made his decision, who can change his mind?
|
|
Whatever he wants to do, he does.
|
|
|
|
14. So he will do to me whatever he has planned.
|
|
He controls my destiny.
|
|
|
|
15. No wonder I am so terrified in his presence.
|
|
When I think of it, terror grips me.
|
|
|
|
16. God has made me sick at heart;
|
|
the Almighty has terrified me.
|
|
|
|
17. Darkness is all around me;
|
|
thick, impenetrable darkness is everywhere.
