on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him; he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.
Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this was your purpose.
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.
"Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him;
When he is quiet, who can condemn? When he hides his face, who can behold him, whether it be a nation or a man? --
How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him.
How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?
Truly, you are a God who hides yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.
