Job 23:13-17

International Standard Version

¹³ “But he is One—who can change him?
    He does whatever he wants to do.
¹⁴ He’ll complete what he has planned for me;
    he has many things in mind for me!
¹⁵ That’s why I’m terrified at his presence!
    When I think about it, I’m afraid of him.
¹⁶ God has caused me to faint;^[a]
    the Almighty makes me terrified!
¹⁷ Nevertheless, I haven’t been silenced because of the darkness,
    even when thick darkness obscures my vision.”^[b]
