Job 23:8

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Behold, I shall go before, and he is not; and behind, I shall not understand for him.

See the chapter Copy

Behold, he will pass by me, and I shall not see: and he will glide on and I shall not understand for him.

Who only having immortality, inhabiting inaccessible light; which none of men saw, nor can see; to whom honour and might forever. Amen.

Wherefore, O Jehovah, wilt thou stand afar off? wilt thou hide for times in straits?

Also if thou shalt say thou wilt not see him, judgment is before him, and thou shalt wait for him.

Surely thou art God hiding thyself, the God of Israel, the Saviour.

The left hand in his working, and I shall not behold: he will cover himself on the right hand, and I shall not see.

And he will give quiet, and who shall disturb? and he will hide the face, and who shall look upon him? and against a nation and against man wholly:

Thou didst press me behind and before, and thou wilt place thine hand upon me.
