Job 23:13-17
New American Standard Bible
13 But He is unique, and who can [a]make Him turn?
Whatever His soul desires, He does it.
14 For He carries out what is destined for me,
And many such destinies are with Him.
15 Therefore, I would be terrified at His presence;
When I consider this, I am frightened of Him.
16 It is God who has made my (A)heart faint,
And the Almighty who has terrified me,
17 But I (B)am not destroyed by darkness,
Nor by (C)deep gloom which covers me.

13 But he stands alone, and who can dissuade him?
What he desires, that he does.(A)
14 For he will complete what he appoints for me,
and many such things are in his mind.(B)
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence;
when I consider, I am in dread of him.
16 God has made my heart faint;
the Almighty[a] has terrified me.(C)
17 If only I could vanish in darkness,
and thick darkness would cover my face
