Job 23:8-12
New King James Version
8 “Look,(A) I go forward, but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
9 When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;
When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.
10 But (B)He knows the way that I take;
When (C)He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 (D)My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the (E)commandment of His lips;
(F)I have treasured the words of His mouth
More than my [a]necessary food.

Job 23:8-12
21st Century King James Version
8 “Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
9 on the left hand where He doth work, but I cannot behold Him; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see Him.
10 But He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot hath held His steps; His way have I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
