Job 23:13-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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
Job 23:13-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 But He is unchangeable; who can oppose Him?
He does what He desires.(A)
14 He will certainly accomplish what He has decreed for me,
and He has many more things like these in mind.[a]
15 Therefore I am terrified(B) in His presence;
when I consider this, I am afraid of Him.
16 God has made my heart faint;(C)
the Almighty has terrified me.
17 Yet I am not destroyed[b] by the darkness,(D)
by the thick darkness that covers my face.
