Nay; but he would give heed unto me. 23:7 There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge. 23:8 Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him; 23:9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold [him] not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see [him] not. 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold. 23:11 My foot hath held to his steps; his way have I kept, and not turned aside. 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own heart. 23:13 But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do. 23:14 For he will perform [what] is appointed for me; and many such things are with him. 23:15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence; I consider, and I am afraid of him. 23:16 For 鵊od hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me; 23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he hidden the gloom from me.
