Job 23:9–11

9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;

when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.

10 But he knows the way that I take;

when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

11 My feet have closely followed his steps;

I have kept to his way without turning aside.

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:

10 But he knoweth the way that I take:

When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

11 My foot hath held his steps,

His way have I kept, and not declined.

9 I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden.

I look to the south, but he is concealed.

10 “But he knows where I am going.

And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.

11 For I have stayed on God’s paths;

I have followed his ways and not turned aside.

9 When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;

When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.

10 But He knows the way that I take;

When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

11 My foot has held fast to His steps;

I have kept His way and not turned aside.

9 When he is at work in the north, I catch no sight of him;

when he turns to the south, I cannot see him.

10 But God knows the way that I take,

and when he has tested me, I will come out like gold.

11 My feet have closely followed his steps;

I have stayed in his way;

I did not turn aside.

9 On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him;

He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

10 But he knoweth the way that I take;

When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

11 My foot hath held fast to his steps;

His way have I kept, and turned not aside.

9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold him not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see him not. 10 But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot hath held to his steps; his way have I kept, and not turned aside.

9 If I go northward, where he is at work, I can’t observe him. 

If I turn southward, I can’t see him. 

10 ⸤I can’t find him⸥ because he knows the road I take. 

When he tests me, 

I’ll come out as pure as gold. 

11 I have followed his footsteps closely. 

I have stayed on his path and did not turn from it. 

9 When He is at work to the north, I cannot see Him;

when He turns south, I cannot find Him.

10 Yet He knows the way I have taken;

when He has tested me, I will emerge as pure gold.

11 My feet have followed in His tracks;

I have kept to His way and not turned aside.

9 on the left he hides, and I cannot behold him;

I turn to the right, but I cannot see him.

10 But he knows the way that I take;

when he has tested me, I shall come out like gold.

11 My foot has held fast to his steps;

I have kept his way and have not turned aside.

9 When he works on the left, I cannot perceive him;

he turns to the right, but I cannot see him.

10 But he knows the way that I take;

he tests me—I shall come out like gold.

11 My foot has held on to his steps;

I have kept his way, and I have not turned aside.

9 When he’s working in the north, I don’t see him there.

When he turns to the south, I don’t see him there either.

10 But he knows every step I take.

When he has put me to the test,

I’ll come out as pure as gold.

11 My feet have closely followed his steps.

I’ve stayed on his path without turning away.

9 When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him;

He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.

10 “But He knows the way I take;

When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

11 “My foot has held fast to His path;

I have kept His way and not turned aside.
