23:2 “Today also my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy on account 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 lay my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
23:5 I would know what he would answer me and understand what he would say to me.
23:6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; he would pay attention to me.
23:7 There an upright man could argue with him, and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
23:8 “Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him;
23:9 on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him; he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.
23:10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.
23:11 My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.
23:12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.
23:13 But he is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desires, that he does.
23:14 For he will complete what he appoints for me, and many such things are in his mind.
23:15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence; when I consider, I am in dread of him.
23:16 God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me;
23:17 yet I am not silenced because of the darkness, nor because thick darkness covers my face.
