[1] Then Job answered,
[2] “Even today my complaint is rebellious.
His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
[3] Oh that I knew where I might find him!
That I might come even to his seat!
[4] I would set my cause in order before him,
and fill my mouth with arguments.
[5] I would know the words which he would answer me,
and understand what he would tell me.
[6] Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?
No, but he would listen to me.
[7] There the upright might reason with him,
so I should be delivered forever from my judge. [8] “If I go east, he is not there.
If I go west, I can’t find him.
[9] He works to the north, but I can’t see him.
He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him. [10] But he knows the way that I take.
When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.
[11] My foot has held fast to his steps.
I have kept his way, and not turned away.
[12] I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips.
I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
[13] But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?
What his soul desires, even that he does.
[14] For he performs that which is appointed for me.
Many such things are with him.
[15] Therefore I am terrified at his presence.
When I consider, I am afraid of him.
[16] For God has made my heart faint.
The Almighty has terrified me.
[17] Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

King James Version
[1] Then JobH347 answeredH6030(QalImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] Even to dayH3117 [is] my complaintH7879 bitter:H4805 my strokeH3027 is heavierH3513(QalPerf) than my groaning.H585 [3] Oh thatH5414(QalImpf) I knewH3045(QalPerf) where I might findH4672(QalImpf) him! [that] I might comeH935(QalImpf) [even] to his seat!H8499 [4] I would orderH6186(QalImpf) [my] causeH4941 beforeH6440 him, and fillH4390(PielImpf) my mouthH6310 with arguments.H8433 [5] I would knowH3045(QalImpf) the wordsH4405 [which] he would answerH6030(QalImpf) me, and understandH995(QalImpf) what he would sayH559(QalImpf) unto me. [6] Will he pleadH7378(QalImpf) againstH5978 me with [his] greatH7230 power?H3581 No; but he would putH7760(QalImpf) [strength] in me. [7] There the righteousH3477 might disputeH3198(NiphPtc) with him; so should I be deliveredH6403(PielImpf) for everH5331 from my judge.H8199(QalActPtc) [8] Behold, I goH1980(QalImpf) forward,H6924 but he [is] not [there]; and backward,H268 but I cannot perceiveH995(QalImpf) him: [9] On the left hand,H8040 where he doth work,H6213(QalInf) but I cannot beholdH2372(QalImpf) [him]: he hidethH5848(QalImpf) himself on the right hand,H3225 that I cannot seeH7200(QalImpf) [him]: [10] But he knowethH3045(QalPerf) the wayH1870 that I take:H5978 [when] he hath triedH974(QalPerf) me, I shall come forthH3318(QalImpf) as gold.H2091 [11] My footH7272 hath heldH270(QalPerf) his steps,H838 his wayH1870 have I kept,H8104(QalPerf) and not declined.H5186(HiphImpf) [12] Neither have I gone backH4185(HiphImpf) from the commandmentH4687 of his lips;H8193 I have esteemedH6845(QalPerf) the wordsH561 of his mouthH6310 more than my necessaryH2706 [food]. [13] But he [is] in oneH259 [mind], and who can turnH7725(HiphImpf) him? and [what] his soulH5315 desireth,H183(PielPerf) even [that] he doeth.H6213(QalImpf) [14] For he performethH7999(HiphImpf) [the thing that is] appointedH2706 for me: and manyH7227 suchH2007 [things are] with him. [15] Therefore am I troubledH926(NiphImpf) at his presence:H6440 when I consider,H995(HiplImpf) I am afraidH6342(QalImpf) of him. [16] For GodH410 maketh my heartH3820 soft,H7401(HiphPerf) and the AlmightyH7706 troublethH926(HiphPerf) me: [17] Because I was not cut offH6789(NiphPerf) beforeH6440 the darkness,H2822 [neither] hath he coveredH3680(PielPerf) the darknessH652 from my face.H6440
