Jó 23

1 And Job answered and said,2 Even to-day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.3 Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come to his seat!4 I would order the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments;5 I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.6 Would he plead against me with {his} great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.7 There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge.8 Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him;9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold {him} not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see {him} not.10 But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.11 My foot hath held to his steps; his way have I kept, and not turned aside.12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own heart.13 But he is in one {mind}, and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.14 For he will perform {what} is appointed for me; and many such things are with him.15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence; I consider, and I am afraid of him.16 For *God hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me;17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he hidden the gloom from me.

1 Y RESPONDIO Job, y dijo:2 Hoy también hablaré con amargura; Que es más grave mi llaga que mi gemido.3 Quién me diera el saber dónde hallar á Dios! Yo iría hasta su silla.4 Ordenaría juicio delante de él, Y henchiría mi boca de argumentos.5 Yo sabría lo que él me respondería, Y entendería lo que me dijese.6 ¿Pleitearía conmigo con grandeza de fuerza? No: antes él la pondría en mí.7 Allí el justo razonaría con él: Y escaparía para siempre de mi juez.8 He aquí yo iré al oriente, y no lo hallaré; Y al occidente, y no lo percibiré:9 Si al norte él obrare, yo no lo veré; Al mediodía se esconderá, y no lo veré.10 Mas él conoció mi camino: Probaráme, y saldré como oro.11 Mis pies tomaron su rastro; Guardé su camino, y no me aparté.12 Del mandamiento de sus labios nunca me separé; Guardé las palabras de su boca más que mi comida.13 Empero si él se determina en una cosa, ¿quién lo apartará? Su alma deseó, é hizo.14 El pues acabará lo que ha determinado de mí: Y muchas cosas como estas hay en él.15 Por lo cual yo me espanto en su presencia: Consideraré, y temerélo.16 Dios ha enervado mi corazón, Y hame turbado el Omnipotente.17 ¿Por qué no fuí yo cortado delante de las tinieblas, Y cubrió con oscuridad mi rostro?
