New Testament

Job 23:6-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. I do not want him to contend with me with much strength, nor to overwhelm me with the bulk of his greatness.

7. Let him show fairness in response to me, and let my judgment reach to victory.

8. If I go to the east, he does not appear; if I go to the west, I will not understand him.

9. If I turn to the left, what can I do? I will not take hold of him. If I turn myself to the right, I will not see him.

10. Truly, he knows my way and has tested me like gold that passes through fire.

11. My feet have been following his footsteps; I have kept to his way and have not strayed from it.

12. I have not withdrawn from the commands of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hidden in my sinews.
