Job 23:8-12

New International Reader's Version

⁸ “But if I go to the east, God isn’t there.
    If I go to the west, I don’t find him.
⁹ When he’s working in the north, I don’t see him there.
    When he turns to the south, I don’t see him there either.
¹⁰ But he knows every step I take.
    When he has tested me,
    I’ll come out as pure as gold.
¹¹ My feet have closely followed his steps.
    I’ve stayed on his path without turning away.
¹² I haven’t disobeyed his commands.
    I’ve treasured his words more than my daily bread.
