Job 23:8-12

New Century Version

⁸ “If I go to the east, God is not there;
    if I go to the west, I do not see him.
⁹ When he is at work in the north, I catch no sight of him;
    when he turns to the south, I cannot see him.
¹⁰ But God knows the way that I take,
    and when he has tested me, I will come out like gold.
¹¹ My feet have closely followed his steps;
    I have stayed in his way;
    I did not turn aside.
¹² I have never left the commands he has spoken;
    I have treasured his words more than my own.
