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.

8 “When I go forward, he is not there,[a]
or[b] backward, I cannot see him.[c]
9 When he works[d] on the left, I cannot perceive[e] him;
he turns to the right, but[f] I cannot see him.
10 But he knows the way that I take;[g]
he tests me—I shall come out like gold.
11 My foot has held on to his steps;
I have kept his way, and I have not turned aside.
12 From the commandment of his lips, indeed[h] I have not departed;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily food.
