No! surely He putteth it in me. 7There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge. 8Lo, forward I go--and He is not, And backward--and I perceive him not. 9To the left in His working--and I see not, He is covered on the right, and I behold not. 10For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me--as gold I go forth. 11On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside, 12The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth. 13And He is in one mind , And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired--and He doth it . 14For He doth complete my portion, And many such things are with Him. 15Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him. 16And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me. 17For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness. ‹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.
