23:1	hen Iob answered, and said,
23:2	Euen to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heauier then my groning.
23:3	O that I knewe where I might find him! that I might come euen to his seate!
23:4	I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
23:5	I would know the words which he would answere me, and vnderstand what he would say vnto me.
23:6	Will he plead against me with his great power? No, but hee would put strength in me.
23:7	There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be deliuered for euer from my Iudge.
23:8	Behold, I goe forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceiue 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.
23:10	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.
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.
23:13	But hee is in one minde, and who can turne him? and what his soule desireth, euen that he doeth.
23:14	For he performeth the thing that is appointed for mee: and many such things are with him.
23:15	Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
23:16	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.
