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

13 But he is unchangeable and who can turn him?
What he desires, that he does.
14 For he will complete what he appoints for me;
and many such things are 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 heart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me;
17 for I am[a] hemmed in by darkness,
and thick darkness covers my face.[b]
