Job 23:13-17

New International Reader's Version

¹³ “But he’s the only God. Who can oppose him?
    He does anything he wants to do.
¹⁴ He carries out his plans against me.
    And he still has many other plans just like them.
¹⁵ That’s why I’m so terrified.
    When I think about all of this, I’m afraid of him.
¹⁶ God has made my heart weak.
    The Mighty One has filled me with terror.
¹⁷ But even the darkness of death won’t make me silent.
    When the darkness of the grave covers my face, I won’t be quiet.
