| 23:8 | Behold, I goe forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceiue him: | Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: | |
| 23:9 | On the left hand where hee doeth worke, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himselfe on the right hand, that I cannot see him. | 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: | |
| 23:10 | But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. | But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. | |
| 23:11 | My foot hath held his steps, his way haue I kept, and not declined. | My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. | |
| 23:12 | Neither haue I gone backe from the commaundement of his lippes, I haue esteemed the words of his mouth more then my necessary food. | Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. | |

| 23:16 | For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: | For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: | |
| 23:17 | Because I was not cut off before the darknes, neither hath he couered the darknes from my face. | Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face. | |
