Job 23:8-12
New Living Translation
8 I go east, but he is not there.
I go west, but I cannot find him.
9 I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden.
I look to the south, but he is concealed.
10 “But he knows where I am going.
And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.
11 For I have stayed on God’s paths;
I have followed his ways and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from his commands,
but have treasured his words more than daily food.
Job 23:8-12
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 from his lips;
I have treasured[b] the words(D) from his mouth
more than my daily food.
