23:2 “I am still complaining today. I groan because God is still making me suffer.
23:3 I wish I knew where to find him. I wish I knew how to go to where he lives.
23:4 I would present my case to him. I would make my arguments to show that I am innocent.
23:5 He could give his response, and I would understand. I would listen closely to what he says.
23:6 Would God use his power against me? No, he would listen to me!
23:7 Since I am an honest man, he would let me tell my story. Then my Judge would set me free!
23:8 “If I go to the east, God is not there. If I go to the west, I still don’t see him.
23:9 When he is working in the north, I don’t see him. When he turns to the south, I still don’t see him.
23:10 But God knows me. He is testing me and will see that I am as pure as gold.
23:11 I have always lived the way God wants. I have never stopped following him.
23:12 I always obey his commands. I love the words from his mouth more than I love my food.
23:13 “But God never changes, and who can stand against him? He does anything he wants.
23:14 He will do to me what he planned, and he has many other plans for me.
23:15 That is why I am terrified to stand before him. Just thinking about it makes me afraid.
23:16 The fear of God has made me lose my courage. God All-Powerful makes me afraid.
23:17 What has happened to me is like a dark cloud over my face. But the darkness will not keep me quiet.
