8. Behold, I shall go to the east and not find him; and to the west, but I cannot perceive him;
9. if he is working to the north, I shall not see him; to the south, he hides himself, that I shall not see him.
10. But he has known the way that I take; he has tried me, and I have come forth as gold.
11. My feet have held to his steps, I have kept his way, and have not departed.
12. Neither have I separated myself from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
