23:2 Today also my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.
23:3 If only I knew how to find him, so that I could go to his throne.
23:4 I would plead my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
23:5 I would learn how he would answer me; and understand what he would say to me.
23:6 Would he prosecute me forcefully? No, he would certainly pay attention to me.
23:7 Then an upright man could reason with him, and I would escape from my Judge forever.
23:8 If I go east, he is not there, and if I go west, I cannot perceive him.
23:9 When he is at work to the north, I cannot see him; when he turns south, I cannot find him.
23:10 Yet he knows the way I have taken; when he has tested me, I will emerge as pure gold.
23:11 My feet have followed in his tracks; I have kept to his way and not turned aside.
23:12 I have not departed from the commands from his lips; I have treasured the words from his mouth more than my daily food.
23:13 But he is unchangeable; who can oppose him? He does what he desires.
23:14 He will certainly accomplish what he has decreed for me, and he has many more things like these in mind.
23:15 Therefore I am terrified in his presence; when I consider this, I am afraid of him.
23:16 God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.
23:17 Yet I am not destroyed by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
