YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Then
Job answered
:
And
Job answereth
and
saith
: --
“Even
today
my complaint is
bitter .
His
hand is
heavy despite
my groaning
.
Also
--
to-day
`is'
my complaint bitter ,
My
hand hath
been
heavy because
of
my sighing
.
If
only
I knew
where
to
find Him, so
that
I could
go
to
His seat .
O
that
I had
known
--
and
I
find Him, I come
in
unto
His seat ,
I would
plead
my
case
before Him and fill
my mouth with arguments.
I arrange
before Him the
cause,
And my mouth fill
`
with '
arguments.
I would
learn
how
He would
answer, and consider
what He would
say
.
I know
the
words
He doth
answer me
, And understand
what He saith
to
me
.
Would
He contend
with me in
His
great
power
? No ,
He would
certainly
take
note
of
me.
In
the
abundance
of
power
doth
He strive
with me? No !
surely
He putteth
`it'
in
me.
Then
an
upright man
could
reason with Him, and I would
be
delivered
forever
from my Judge.
There
the
upright doth
reason with Him, And I escape
for
ever
from my judge.
If
I go east,
He is not there
, and if
I
go
west,
I cannot
find
Him.
Lo,
forward
I go --
and
He is not, And backward
--
and
I perceive
him not
.
When
He
is
at
work
in
the north,
I cannot
behold
Him;
when
He turns
to
the south
, I cannot
see
Him
.
`To'
the left
in
His
working
--
and
I see
not,
He is
covered
`on'
the right
, and
I behold
not
.
Yet
He knows
the way I
have
taken;
when
He
has
tested
me, I
will
come
forth
as gold.
For
He hath
known
the way with
me, He
hath
tried
me
--
as gold I
go
forth
.
My feet
have
followed
in
His tracks;
I have kept His
way
without
turning
aside .
On
His
step
hath
my foot
laid
hold,
His way
I have kept ,
and
turn
not
aside ,
I
have
not
departed
from
the command of His lips ;
I have treasured
the words
of His mouth more
than
my
daily
bread
.
The command of His lips ,
and
I depart
not.
Above
my
allotted
portion
I
have laid
up
The sayings
of His mouth.
But
He is unchangeable
, and who can
oppose
Him? He
does
what
He desires
.
And
He `
is '
in
one
`mind'
, And who doth
turn
Him back
? And
His
soul
hath
desired
--
and
He doth
`it'
.
For He carries
out
His
decree
against
me
, and He
has
many such plans
.
For He doth
complete
my
portion
, And many such things
`are'
with
Him
.
Therefore I
am
terrified
in
His presence ;
when
I consider
this
, I fear
Him.
Therefore ,
from
His presence I am
troubled
, I consider,
and
am
afraid
of
Him.
God has
made my heart faint;
the Almighty
has
terrified
me.
And
God hath
made my heart soft,
And
the Mighty
hath
troubled
me.
Yet
I am
not silenced
by
the
darkness, by
the
thick darkness that
covers
my
face
.
For
I have
not been
cut
off
before
darkness, And
before
me
He
covered
thick darkness.
