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
New American Standard Bible
8 “Behold, I go forward but He is not there,
And backward, but I (A)cannot perceive Him;
9 When He acts on the left, I cannot see Him;
He turns to the right, but I cannot see Him.
10 But He knows the [a]way I take;
When He has (B)put me to the test, I will come out as gold.
11 My foot has (C)held on to His path;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12 I have not [b]failed the command of His lips;
I have treasured the (D)words of His mouth [c]more than my [d]necessary food.
