23Job · Good News Translation (1992)

²I still rebel and complain against God; I cannot keep from groaning.

³How I wish I knew where to find him, and knew how to go where he is.

⁴I would state my case before him and present all the arguments in my favor.

⁵I want to know what he would say and how he would answer me.

⁶Would God use all his strength against me? No, he would listen as I spoke.

⁷I am honest; I could reason with God; he would declare me innocent once and for all.

⁸I have searched in the East, but God is not there; I have not found him when I searched in the West.

⁹God has been at work in the North and the South, but still I have not seen him.

¹⁰Yet God knows every step I take; if he tests me, he will find me pure.

¹¹I follow faithfully the road he chooses, and never wander to either side.

¹²I always do what God commands; I follow his will, not my own desires.

¹³He never changes. No one can oppose him or stop him from doing what he wants to do.

¹⁴He will fulfill what he has planned for me; that plan is just one of the many he has;

¹⁵I tremble with fear before him.

¹⁷Almighty God has destroyed my courage. It is God, not the dark, that makes me afraid— even though the darkness has made me blind.
