1. Then Job answered:
2. “My complaint is still strong today.God’s hand is heavy against me even though I am groaning.
3. I wish I knew where to find God.I wish I could go to where he lives.
4. I would present my case before him.I would fill my mouth with arguments.
5. I would know the words of his answer.And I would think about what he would say.
6. He would not come against me with great power.He would really listen to me.
7. Then an honest person could present his case to God.And I would be saved forever from my judge.
8. “If I go to the east, God is not there.And if I go to the west, I do not see him there.
9. When he is at work in the north, I catch no sight of him.And when he turns to the south, I cannot see him.
10. But God knows the way that I take.When he has tested me, I will come out pure as gold.
11. My feet have closely followed his steps.I have stayed in his way without turning aside.
