Job 23:8-12
Christian Standard Bible
8 If I go east, he is not there,
and if I go west, I cannot perceive him.(A)
9 When he is at work to the north, I cannot see him;
when he turns south, I cannot find him.
10 Yet he knows the way I have taken;[a]
when he has tested me,(B) I will emerge as pure gold.
11 My feet have followed in his tracks;
I have kept to his way(C) and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the commands from his lips;
I have treasured[b] the words(D) from his mouth
more than my daily food.
Job 23:8-12
English Standard Version
8 “Behold, (A)I go forward, but he is not there,
and backward, but I do not perceive him;
9 on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him;
he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.
10 But he (B)knows (C)the way that I (D)take;
when he has (E)tried me, I shall come out as gold.
11 My foot (F)has held fast to his steps;
I have kept his way and have (G)not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have (H)treasured the words of his mouth more than my (I)portion of food.
