Job 23:13-17
English Standard Version
13 But he is unchangeable,[a] and (A)who can turn him back?
What he (B)desires, that he does.
14 For he will complete what he (C)appoints for me,
and many such things are (D)in his mind.
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence;
when I consider, I am in dread of him.
16 God has made my (E)heart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me;
17 yet I am not silenced because of the darkness,
nor because thick darkness covers my face.
