Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
And
Job answereth
and saith:
--
Then
Job answered
and said,
Also
--
to -
day `
is '
my complaint bitter ,
My hand
hath
been
heavy
because
of
my sighing
.
Even
to day is my complaint bitter :
my stroke
is
heavier
than
my groaning
.
O
that I had
known
--
and
I find Him ,
I come in
unto
His seat ,
Oh
that I knew
where
I might
find him !
that
I might
come even
to
his seat !
I arrange
before Him the
cause
, And my mouth fill
`
with '
arguments.
I would
order
my
cause
before him, and fill
my mouth with arguments.
I know the words He doth
answer me, And understand what He saith
to
me.
I would
know the words which
he would
answer me, and understand what he would
say
unto
me.
In
the
abundance
of
power
doth
He strive
with
me? No !
surely
He putteth
`it'
in me.
Will
he plead
against
me with
his
great
power
? No ;
but
he would
put
strength
in me.
There the upright
doth
reason
with Him ,
And
I escape
for ever from my judge.
There the righteous
might
dispute
with him ;
so
should
I be
delivered
for ever from my judge.
Lo
, forward
I go --
and
He is not ,
And backward --
and
I perceive him not.
Behold
, I go forward,
but
he is not there;
and backward ,
but
I cannot
perceive him :
`To'
the left in
His
working
--
and
I
see
not
, He is
covered
`
on '
the right, and
I behold
not.
On
the left hand
, where
he doth
work,
but
I
cannot
behold
him:
he
hideth
himself
on the right hand
, that
I cannot
see
him:
For
He hath
known
the way with
me,
He hath tried me --
as
gold
I go
forth.
But
he knoweth
the way that
I
take:
when
he hath tried me ,
I shall
come
forth as
gold
.
On
His
step
hath
my foot laid
hold
, His way I
have kept, and turn
not aside,
My foot hath
held
his
steps
, his way have I
kept, and not declined.
The command
of His lips ,
and
I
depart
not.
Above
my
allotted
portion
I have laid
up
The sayings
of His mouth.
Neither
have
I
gone
back
from
the commandment
of his lips ;
I have esteemed
the words
of his mouth more
than
my
necessary
food
.
And
He `
is '
in one `
mind '
, And who doth
turn Him back
? And His soul hath
desired
--
and
He doth
`it'
.
But
he is in one mind, and who can
turn him? and what
his soul desireth,
even
that
he doeth
.
For He doth
complete
my
portion,
And many such things `
are '
with Him.
For he performeth
the
thing
that
is
appointed
for
me:
and many such things are with him.
Therefore ,
from
His
presence
I
am troubled ,
I consider, and
am afraid of Him.
Therefore am I
troubled at
his
presence:
when
I consider, I
am afraid of him.
And
God hath
made
my heart soft, And the Mighty
hath
troubled
me .
For
God maketh
my heart soft, and the Almighty
troubleth
me :
For
I have
not been
cut off before darkness, And
before
me
He covered thick
darkness.
Because
I was
not cut off before the
darkness, neither
hath
he covered the
darkness from
my
face
.
