Job 23:8-12
World English Bible
8 “If I go east, he is not there;
if west, I can’t find him;
9 He works to the north, but I can’t see him.
He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.
10 But he knows the way that I take.
When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.
11 My foot has held fast to his steps.
I have kept his way, and not turned away.
12 I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips.
I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
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.
