13 But He is unique and who can turn Him?
And what His soul desires, that He does.
14 For He performs what is apportioned for me,
And many such decrees are with Him.
15 Therefore, I would be dismayed at His presence;
I carefully consider, and I am in dread of Him.
16 It is God who has made my (A)heart faint,
And the Almighty who has dismayed me,
17 But I (B)am not silenced by the darkness,
Nor (C)thick darkness which covers me.

13 But [a]he is in one mind, and who can turn him?
And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
14 For he performeth that which is appointed for me:
And many such things are with him.
15 Therefore am I terrified at his presence;
When I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God hath made my heart faint,
And the Almighty hath terrified me;
17 [b]Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
