Then Job answered,
“Even today my complaint is rebellious. Job 10:1Job 7:11Psa 32:4Job 11:6Job 6:2-3Lam 3:19-20Psa 77:2-9
His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
Oh that I knew where I might find him! Job 16:21Heb 4:6Jer 14:7Job 13:3Job 31:35-372Co 5:19-20Isa 26:8Isa 55:6-7
That I might come even to his seat!
I would set my cause in order before him, Job 13:18Dan 9:18-19Exo 32:12-13Gen 18:25-32Gen 32:12Isa 43:26Job 37:19Jos 7:8-9
and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would know the words which he would answer me, 1Co 4:3-4Job 10:2Job 13:22-23Job 42:2-6
and understand what he would tell me.
Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? 2Co 12:9-10Job 13:21Job 9:33-34Ezk 20:33Ezk 20:35Isa 27:4Isa 27:8Job 9:19
No, but he would listen to me.
There the upright might reason with him, Job 13:3Isa 1:18Rom 8:1Jer 12:1Jer 3:5Job 9:15Rom 3:19-22Rom 8:33-34
so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
“If I go east, he is not there. Job 9:11Psa 10:11Ti 6:16Job 35:14Isa 45:15Psa 13:1-3
If I go west, I can’t find him.
He works to the north, but I can’t see him. Isa 8:17Psa 89:46
He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.
But he knows the way that I take. Jas 1:121Pe 1:7Jas 1:2-4Psa 139:1-3Pro 17:3Psa 66:10Zec 13:9Psa 17:3
When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.
My foot has held fast to his steps. Psa 44:182Pe 2:20-22Psa 17:5Job 17:9Psa 125:5Rom 2:72Co 1:12Act 20:18-19
I have kept his way, and not turned away.
I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. Jer 15:16Psa 119:11Psa 119:103Jhn 4:34Psa 19:9-10Job 22:22Jhn 4:32Jhn 8:31
I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? Psa 115:3Pro 19:21Dan 4:35Isa 46:10Ecc 3:14Job 12:14Num 23:19-20Psa 135:6
What his soul desires, even that he does.
For he performs that which is appointed for me. 1Th 3:31Th 5:9Isa 40:27-28Psa 97:2Rom 11:331Pe 2:8Job 7:3Mic 6:9
Many such things are with him.
Therefore I am terrified at his presence. Psa 119:120Job 31:23Psa 77:3Hab 3:16Job 10:15Job 23:3
When I consider, I am afraid of him.
For God has made my heart faint. Psa 22:14Job 27:2Deu 20:3Isa 6:5Psa 88:16Isa 57:16Jol 1:15Rut 1:20
The Almighty has terrified me.
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Job 19:8Isa 57:12Ki 22:20Job 15:22Job 18:18Job 18:6Job 22:11Job 6:9
neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
