Job 23:8-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 “If I go forward, he is not there;
or backward, I cannot perceive him;(A)
9 on the left he hides, and I cannot behold him;
I turn[a] to the right, but I cannot see him.
10 But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I shall come out like gold.(B)
11 My foot has held fast to his steps;
I have kept his way and have not turned aside.(C)
12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured his words in my bosom.[b](D)

Revised Standard Version
8 “Behold, I go forward, but he is not there;
and backward, but I cannot perceive him;
9 on the left hand I seek him,[a] but I cannot behold him;
I[b] turn to the right hand, but I cannot see him.
10 But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot has held fast to his steps;
I have kept his way and have not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured in[c] my bosom the words of his mouth.
