Job 23:9

Bible in Basic English 1965

I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.

See the chapter Copy

But you kept these things in the secret of your heart; I am certain this was in your thoughts:

For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.

See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;

(UNTRANSLATED TEXT)

How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting for him.

See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.

How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?

Truly, you have a secret God, the God of Israel is a Saviour!

And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him.
