23 Then Job answered:
2 Today also my complaint is bitter.C,h
HisD hand is heavy despite my groaning.
3 If only I knew how to find him,
so that I could go to his throne.
4 I would plead my case before himi
and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would learn howE he would answer me;
and understand what he would say to me.
6 Would he prosecutej me forcefully?
No, he would certainly pay attention to me.
7 Then an upright man could reasonk with him,
and I would escape from my JudgeF,l forever.
8 If I go east, he is not there,
and if I go west, I cannot perceive him.m
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;G
when he has tested me,n I will emerge as pure gold.
11 My feet have followed in his tracks;
I have kept to his wayo and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the commands from his lips;
I have treasuredH the wordsp from his mouth
more than my daily food.
13 But he is unchangeable; who can oppose him?
He does what he desires.q
14 He will certainly accomplish what he has decreed for me,
and he has many more things like these in mind.I
15 Therefore I am terrifiedr in his presence;
when I consider this, I am afraid of him.
16 God has made my heart faint;s
the Almighty has terrified me.
17 Yet I am not destroyedJ by the darkness,t
by the thick darkness that covers my face.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
