Job 23:9 - Job 24:1

9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him; he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him;

10 But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me; and many such things are with him.

15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence; when I consider, I am afraid of him.

16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me;

17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
