His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning. 23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat! 23:4 I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments. 23:5 I would know the words which he would answer me, And understand what he would tell me. 23:6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me. 23:7 There the upright might reason with him, So I should be delivered forever from my judge. 23:8 "If I go east, he is not there; If west, I can`t find him; 23:9 He works to the north, but I can`t see him; He turns south, but I can`t catch a glimpse of him. 23:10 But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth like gold. 23:11 My foot has held fast to his steps. His way have I kept, and not turned aside. 23:12 I haven`t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. 23:13 But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does. 23:14 For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him. 23:15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him. 23:16 For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me. 23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
