|
| 2 Even today, is my complaint rebellion? His hand, is heavier than my groaning. |
|
| 3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! I would come even unto his dwelling-place; |
|
| 4 I would set out, before him, a plea, and, my mouth, would I fill with arguments; |
|
| 5 I would note the words wherewith he would respond to me, and would mark what he would say to me. |

| 10 But, he, knoweth the way that I choose, Having tried me, as gold, I shall come forth. |
|
| 11 Of his steps, my foot taketh hold, His way, have I kept, and not swerved; |

| 13 But, he, is one, and who can turn him? What his soul desired, he hath done. |
|
| 14 Surely he will accomplish what is decreed for me, and, many such things, hath he in store. |

| 15 For this cause, from his presence, am I driven in fear, I diligently consider and am kept back from him in dread: |
|
| 16 Yea, GOD, hath made timid my heart, and, the Almighty, hath put me in terror. |
|
| 17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, nor, before my face, did the gloom form a shroud. |
