<br />
<br />
<named id="1"/><sup>1</sup> Then Job answered and said: <br />
<br />
<named id="2"/><sup>2</sup> Even to-day is my complaint bitter; my hand is become heavy because of my groaning. <br />
<br />
<named id="3"/><sup>3</sup> Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat! <br />
<br />
<named id="4"/><sup>4</sup> I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments. <br />
<br />
<named id="5"/><sup>5</sup> I would know the words which He would answer me, and understand what He would say unto me. <br />
<br />
<named id="6"/><sup>6</sup> Would He contend with me in His great power? Nay; but He would give heed unto me. <br />
<br />
<named id="7"/><sup>7</sup> There the upright might reason with Him; so should I be delivered for ever from my Judge.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="8"/><sup>8</sup> Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him; <br />
<br />
<named id="9"/><sup>9</sup> On the left hand, when He doth work, but I cannot behold Him, He turneth Himself to the right hand, but I cannot see Him. <br />
<br />
<named id="10"/><sup>10</sup> For He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. <br />
<br />
<named id="11"/><sup>11</sup> My foot hath held fast to His steps, His way have I kept, and turned not aside. <br />
<br />
<named id="12"/><sup>12</sup> I have not gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured up the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="13"/><sup>13</sup> But He is at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth. <br />
<br />
<named id="14"/><sup>14</sup> For He will perform that which is appointed for me; and many such things are with Him. <br />
<br />
<named id="15"/><sup>15</sup> Therefore am I affrighted at His presence; when I consider, I am afraid of Him. <br />
<br />
<named id="16"/><sup>16</sup> Yea, G-d hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath affrighted me; <br />
<br />
<named id="17"/><sup>17</sup> Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did He cover the thick darkness from my face. <br />
