1 Then Job answered and said:
[mhcc]
[tsk]
2 "Today also my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy on account of my groaning.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
3 Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat!
[jfb]
[tsk]
4 I would lay my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
[jfb]
[tsk]
5 I would know what he would answer me and understand what he would say to me.
[jfb]
[tsk]
6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; he would pay attention to me.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
7 There an upright man could argue with him, and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
8 "Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him;
[gsn]
[mhcc]
[jfb]
[tsk]
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.
[jfb]
[tsk]
10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
11 My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.
[jfb]
[tsk]
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.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
13 But he is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desires, that he does.
[gsn]
[mhcc]
[jfb]
[tsk]
14 For he will complete what he appoints for me, and many such things are in his mind.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence; when I consider, I am in dread of him.
[jfb]
[tsk]
16 God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me;
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
17 yet I am not silenced because of the darkness, nor because thick darkness covers my face.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[tsk]
