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
Lexham English Bible

8 “When I go forward, he is not there,[a]
or[b] backward, I cannot see him.[c]
9 When he works[d] on the left, I cannot perceive[e] him;
he turns to the right, but[f] I cannot see him.
10 But he knows the way that I take;[g]
he tests me—I shall come out like gold.
11 My foot has held on to his steps;
I have kept his way, and I have not turned aside.
12 From the commandment of his lips, indeed[h] I have not departed;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily food.
