| 23:1 | Then Job answered and said, |
| 23:2 | Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. |
| 23:3 | Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! |
| 23:4 | I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. |
| 23:5 | I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. |
| 23:6 | Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me. |
| 23:7 | There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. |
| 23:8 | Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: |
| 23:9 | On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: |
| 23:10 | But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. |
| 23:10 | 然而他知道我所行的路、他試煉我之後、我必如精金。 |
| 23:10 | 然而他知道我所行的路。他试炼我之后，我必如精金。 |
| psm:139:2 | Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. |
| psm:139:3 | Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. |
| psm:139:23 | Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: |
| psm:139:23 | Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: |
| zec:13:9 | And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. |

| 23:11 | My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. |
| 23:12 | Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. |
| 23:13 | But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. |
| 23:14 | For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. |
| 23:15 | Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. |
| 23:16 | For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: |
| 23:17 | Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face. |
