Job 23
1Then Job answered and said,2Even to day <add>is</add> my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.3Oh that I knew where I might find him! <add>that</add> I might come <add>even</add> to his seat!4I would order <add>my</add> cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.5I would know the words <add>which</add> he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.6Will he plead against me with <add>his</add> great power? No; but he would put <add>strength</add> in me.7There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.8Behold, I go forward, but he <add>is</add> not <add>there;</add> and backward, but I cannot perceive him:9On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold <add>him:</add> he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see <add>him:</add>10But he knoweth the way that I take: <add>when</add> he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.11My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.12Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary <add>food</add>.13But he <add>is</add> in one <add>mind</add>, and who can turn him? and <add>what</add> his soul desireth, even <add>that</add> he doeth.14For he performeth <add>the thing that is</add> appointed for me: and many such <add>things are</add> with him.15Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.16For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:17Because I was not cut off before the darkness, <add>neither</add> hath he covered the darkness from my face.
