Job 23
Intro: Job longeth for God -- God observeth our ways -- Job's innocency.

1 Then Job answered and said,

2 Even today 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 even to his seat!

4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered forever from my judge.

8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him;

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.
