23:2 "I'm still complaining bitterly today; my hand is heavy because of groaning.
23:3 If only I knew where to find him, I would visit him where he has taken his seat.
23:4 I would lay out my case before him; and fill my mouth with arguments.
23:5 I know how he would answer me; I understand what he'll tell me.
23:6 "Would he use his great power to fight me? No, he'll pay attention to me.
23:7 In that place, the upright can reason with him; and I'll be acquitted once and for all by my judge."
23:8 "Look! If I go east, he isn't there! If I go to the west, I don't perceive him.
23:9 If he's working in the north, I can't observe him; If he turns south, I can't see him.
23:10 Because he knows the road on which I travel, when he had tested me, I'll come out like gold.
23:11 My feet stay where his footsteps lead; I kept on his pathway and haven't turned aside.
23:12 I haven't wandered away from the commands that he has spoken; I've treasured what he has said more than my own meals."
23:13 "But he is One—who can change him? He does whatever he wants to do.
23:14 He'll complete what he has planned for me; he has many things in mind for me!
23:15 That's why I'm terrified at his presence! When I think about it, I'm afraid of him.
23:16 God has caused me to faint; the Almighty makes me terrified!
23:17 Nevertheless, I haven't been silenced because of the darkness, even when thick darkness obscures my vision."
