Job 23:8-12
New International Version
8 “But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.(A)
10 But he knows the way that I take;(B)
when he has tested me,(C) I will come forth as gold.(D)
11 My feet have closely followed his steps;(E)
I have kept to his way without turning aside.(F)
12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;(G)
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.(H)

Job 23:8-12
Common English Bible
God’s hiddenness
8 Look, I go east; he’s not there,
west, and don’t discover him;
9 north in his activity, and I don’t grasp him;
he turns south, and I don’t see.
10 Surely he knows my way;
when he tests me,
I will emerge as gold.
11 My feet have stayed right in his tracks.
I have kept his way and not left it,
12 kept the commandments from his lips and not departed,
valued the words from his mouth more than my food.
