Job 23:8-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

    or west, I cannot perceive him;
9 The north enfolds him, and I cannot catch sight of him;
    The south hides him, and I cannot see him.

Footnotes

  1. 23:8 Job’s confident desire to confront God (vv. 2–7, contrary to his fears in 9:14–20 and 13:21–27) gives way to his dark night: God’s absence (vv. 8–9), which also terrifies (vv. 13–17).
