Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation

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