Job 23:8-12

International Standard Version

⁸ “Look! If I go east,^[a] he isn’t there!
    If I go to the west,^[b] I don’t perceive him.
⁹ If he’s working in the north,^[c] I can’t observe him;^[d]
    If he turns south,^[e] I can’t see him.^[f]
10 Because he knows the road on which I travel,
    when he had tested me, I’ll come out like gold.
¹¹ My feet stay where his footsteps lead;
    I kept on his pathway and haven’t turned aside.
¹² I haven’t wandered away from the commands that he has spoken;^[g]
    I’ve treasured what he has said^[h] more than my own meals.”
