Job 23:8-12
Amplified Bible
8
“Behold, I go forward (to the east), but He is not there;
I go backward (to the west), but I cannot perceive Him;
9
To the left (north) He turns, but I cannot behold Him;
He turns to the right hand (south), but I cannot see Him.
10
“But He knows the way that I take [and He pays attention to it].
When He has tried me, I will come forth as [refined] gold [pure and luminous].(A)
11
“My feet have carefully followed His steps;
I have kept His ways and not turned aside.
12
“I have not departed from the commandment of His lips;
I have kept the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

New American Standard Bible
8 “Behold, I go forward but He is not there,
And backward, but I (A)cannot perceive Him;
9 When He acts on the left, I cannot see Him;
He turns to the right, but I cannot see Him.
10 But He knows the [a]way I take;
When He has (B)put me to the test, I will come out as gold.
11 My foot has (C)held on to His path;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12 I have not [b]failed the command of His lips;
I have treasured the (D)words of His mouth [c]more than my [d]necessary food.
