Job 23:8-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 If I go east, He is not there,
and if I go west, I cannot perceive Him.(A)
9 When He is at work to the north, I cannot see Him;
when He turns south, I cannot find Him.
10 Yet He knows the way I have taken;[a]
when He has tested me,(B) I will emerge as pure gold.
11 My feet have followed in His tracks;
I have kept to His way(C) and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the commands of His lips;
I have treasured[b] the words(D) of His mouth
more than my daily food.
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.
