  Job.

  “Even today my complaint is rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
• Job 23:4
  Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
• Job 23:5
  I would set my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
• Job 23:6
  I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would tell me.
• Job 23:7
  Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me.
• Job 23:8
  There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
• Job 23:9
  “If I go east, he is not there. If I go west, I can’t find him.

  But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.
• Job 23:12
  My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned away.
• Job 23:13
  I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

  But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

  For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him.

  Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.
• Job 23:17
  For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.

  Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
