1Then Job answered and said,
2Even to-day is my complaint rebellious:
3Oh that I knew where I might find him!
4I would set my cause in order before him,
5I would know the words which he would answer me,
6Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?
7There the upright might reason with him;
8Behold, I go forward, but he is not there;
9On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him;
10But he knoweth the way that I take;
11My foot hath held fast to his steps;
12I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips;
13But he is in one mind, and who can turn him?
14For he performeth that which is appointed for me:
15Therefore am I terrified at his presence;
16For God hath made my heart faint,
17Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
