Tua Palavra

|Jó 23:1| Job spoke next. He said:

|Jó 23:2| My lament is still rebellious; despite my groans, his hand is just as heavy.

|Jó 23:3| Will no one help me to know how to travel to his dwelling?

|Jó 23:4| I should set out my case to him, advancing any number of grievances.

|Jó 23:5| Then I could learn his defence, every word of it, taking note of everything he said to me.

|Jó 23:6| Would he put all his strength into this debate with me? No, he would only have to give his attention to me,

|Jó 23:7| to recognise his opponent as upright and so I should win my case for ever.

|Jó 23:8| If I go to the east, he is not there; or to the west, I still cannot see him.

|Jó 23:9| If I seek him in the north, he is not to be found, invisible as ever, if I turn to the south.

|Jó 23:10| And yet he knows every step I take! Let him test me in the crucible: I shall come out pure gold.
