Job’s Reply to Eliphaz

|Jó 23:1| Then Job answered:

|Jó 23:2| Today also my complaint is bitter. ¹ ^a His ² hand is heavy despite my groaning.

|Jó 23:3| If only I knew how to find Him, so that I could go to His throne.

|Jó 23:4| I would plead my case before Him ^b and fill my mouth with arguments.

|Jó 23:5| I would learn how ³ He would answer me; and understand what He would say to me.

|Jó 23:6| Would He prosecute ^c me forcefully? No, He will certainly pay attention to me.

|Jó 23:7| Then an upright man could reason ^d with Him, and I would escape from my Judge ^e forever.

|Jó 23:8| If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot perceive Him. ^f

|Jó 23:9| When He is at work to the north, I cannot see Him; when He turns south, I cannot find Him.

|Jó 23:10| Yet He knows the way I have taken; ⁴ when He has tested me, ^g I will emerge as pure gold.
