Job 23:7-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

7. "There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

8. "Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

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.

12. "I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

13. "But He is unique and who can turn Him? And what His soul desires, that He does.
