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 will 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 of His lips; I have treasured the words of 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.
