- 2. "Even today my complaint is rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
- 3. Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
- 4. I would set my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
- 5. I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would tell me.
- 6. Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me.
- 7. There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
- 8. "If I go east, he is not there; if west, I can't find him;
- 9. He works to the north, but I can't see him. He turns south, but I can't catch a glimpse of him.
- 10. But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth like gold.
- 11. My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned aside.

- 16. For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.
- 17. Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
