Job replied,
2
"Even today my problems are more than I can handle. In spite of my groans, God's hand is heavy on me.
3
I wish I knew where I could find him! I wish I could go to the place where he lives!
4
I would state my case to him. I'd give him all of my arguments.
5
I'd find out what his answers would be. I'd think about what he would say.
6
Would he oppose me with his great power? No. He wouldn't bring charges against me.
7
I'm an honest person. I could state my case to him. Then my Judge would tell me once and for all that I'm not guilty.
8
"But if I go to the east, God isn't there. If I go to the west, I don't find him.
9
When he's working in the north, I don't see him there. When he turns to the south, I don't see him there either.
10
But he knows every step I take. When he has put me to the test, I'll come out as pure as gold.
11
My feet have closely followed his steps. I've stayed on his path without turning away.
12
I haven't disobeyed his commands. I've treasured his words more than my daily bread.
13
"But he's the only God. Who can oppose him? He does anything he wants to do.
14
He carries out his plans against me. And he still has many other plans just like them.
15
That's why I'm so terrified. When I think about all of this, I'm afraid of him.
16
God has made my heart weak. The Mighty One has filled me with terror.
17
But even the darkness of death won't make me silent. When the darkness of the grave covers my face, I won't be quiet.
