1
Then Job replied {to his friends},
2
"My complaint is bitter again today. I try hard to control my sighing.
3
"If only I knew where I could find God! I would go where he lives.
4
I would present {my} case to him. I would have a mouthful of arguments.
5
I want to know the words he would use to answer me. I want to understand the things he would say to me.
6
Would he sue me and hide behind great legal maneuvers? No, he certainly would press charges against me.
7
Then decent people could argue with him, and I would escape my judgment forever.
8
However, if I go east, he isn't there. If I go west, I can't find him.
9
If I go northward, where he is at work, I can't observe him. If I turn southward, I can't see him.
10
{I can't find him} because he knows the road I take. When he tests me, I'll come out as pure as gold.
11
I have followed his footsteps closely. I have stayed on his path and did not turn from it.
12
I have not left his commands behind. I have treasured his words in my heart.
13
"But God is one of a kind. Who can make him change his mind? He does whatever he wants!
14
He will carry out {his} orders concerning me as he does with so many other things.
15
That is why I'm terrified of him. When I think of it, I'm afraid of him.
16
God has discouraged me. The Almighty has filled me with terror.
17
But I am not silenced by the dark or by the thick darkness that covers my face.
