Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat! |

Oh that°°°
I knew°°

|
23:5
I would know°°
the words°
[which] he would answer°°
me, and understand°°
what°
he would say°°
unto me. |
|
23:6
Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me. |
|
23:6
Will he plead°°
against°
me with [his] great°
power?°
No;°
but°
he°
would put°°
[strength] in me. |

Behold,°
I go°°
forward,°
but he [is] not°
[there]; and backward,°

On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him. |
|
23:9
On the left hand,°
where he doth work,°°
but I cannot°
behold°°
[him]: he hideth°°
himself on the right hand,°
that I cannot°
see°°

23:10
But he knoweth the way that I take; When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. |
|
23:10
But°
he knoweth°°
the way°
that I take:°
[when] he hath tried°°

My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside. |

23:11
My foot°
hath held°°
his steps,°
his way°
have I kept,°°
and not°

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. |
|
23:12
Neither°
have I gone back°°
from the commandment°
of his lips;°
I have esteemed°°

Therefore am I terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him. |
|
23:15
Therefore°°
am I troubled°°
at his presence:°°
when I consider,°°
I am afraid°°
of°
him. |
|
23:16
For God hath made my heart faint, And the Almighty hath terrified me; |
|
23:16
For God°
maketh my heart°
soft,°°°
and the Almighty°
troubleth°°
me: |
|
23:17
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face. |
