Job 23:13-17
World English Bible
13 But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?
What his soul desires, even that he does.
14 For he performs that which is appointed for me.
Many such things are with him.
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence.
When I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God has made my heart faint.
The Almighty has terrified me.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
Job 23:13-17
Lexham English Bible
13 “But[a] he is alone,[b] and who can dissuade him?
And whatever he desires,[c] indeed,[d] he does it.
14 For he will carry out what he appoints for me,[e]
and many things like these are with him.
15 Therefore, I am horrified because of his presence;
when I consider, I tremble[f] because of him.
16 Indeed,[g] God has made my heart faint,
and Shaddai has terrified me.
17 Indeed, I have not been silenced because of darkness,[h]
and because of me he[i] conceals thick darkness.
