14 For He performs what is (B)appointed for me,
And many such things are with Him.
15 Therefore I am terrified at His presence;
When I consider this, I am afraid of Him.
16 For God (C)made my heart weak,
And the Almighty terrifies me;

And He did not hide deep darkness from my face.

  1. Job 23:17 Or by or before

13 But [a]he is in one mind, and who can turn him?
And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
14 For he performeth that which is appointed for me:
And many such things are with him.
15 Therefore am I terrified at his presence;
When I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God hath made my heart faint,
And the Almighty hath terrified me;
17 [b]Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
