I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not see him. 10But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire: 11My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it. 12I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom. 13For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever his soul hath desired, that hath he done. 14And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him. 15And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him, I am made pensive with fear. 16God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me. 17For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face. ‹Previous chapterJob 22Next chapterJob 24›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsJob 23 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
