Job 23:8-12

Expanded Bible

⁸ “If I go to the east, God is not there;
    if I go to the west, I do not ·see [perceive] him.
⁹ When he ·is at work [acts] in the north, I catch no ·sight [glimpse] of him;
    when he ·turns to [^Lwraps himself up in] the south, I cannot see him.
¹⁰ But God knows the way that I take,
    and when he has tested me, I will come out like gold [Ps. 139:23–24].
¹¹ My feet have ·closely followed [^Lheld fast to] his steps;
    I have stayed in his ·way [path; Prov. 4:10–11];
    I did not turn aside.
¹² I have never ·left [departed from] the commands ·he has spoken [^Lof his lips];
    I have ·treasured his words more than my own [^Lstored up in my bosom the speeches of his mouth].
