Job 23:8-12
Lexham English Bible
8 “When I go forward, he is not there,[a]
or[b] backward, I cannot see him.[c]
9 When he works[d] on the left, I cannot perceive[e] him;
he turns to the right, but[f] I cannot see him.
10 But he knows the way that I take;[g]
he tests me—I shall come out like gold.
11 My foot has held on to his steps;
I have kept his way, and I have not turned aside.
12 From the commandment of his lips, indeed[h] I have not departed;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily 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.
