Job 23:8-12
Legacy Standard Bible
8 “Behold, I go forward but He is not there,
And backward, but I (A)cannot discern Him;
9 When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him;
He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.
10 But He knows the [a]way I take;
When He has (B)tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot has (C)held fast to His path;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the command of His lips;
I have treasured the (D)words of His mouth [b]more than my [c]portion of food.
Job 23:8-12
Holman 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 of His lips;
I have treasured[b] the words(D) of His mouth
more than my daily food.
