New Testament

Job 23:11-17 New English Translation (NET)

11. My feet have followed his steps closely;I have kept to his way and have not turned aside.

12. I have not departed from the commands of his lips;I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion.

13. But he is unchangeable, and who can change him?Whatever he has desired, he does.

14. For he fulfills his decree against me,and many such things are his plans.

15. That is why I am terrified in his presence;when I consider, I am afraid because of him.

16. Indeed, God has made my heart faint;the Almighty has terrified me.

17. Yet I have not been silent because of the darkness,because of the thick darkness that covered my face.
