Job 23:8-12
World English Bible
8 “If I go east, he is not there;
if west, I can’t find him;
9 He works to the north, but I can’t see him.
He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.
10 But he knows the way that I take.
When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.
11 My foot has held fast to his steps.
I have kept his way, and not turned away.
12 I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips.
I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
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.
