18:023:008 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I
cannot perceive him:
18:023:009 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him:
he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
18:023:010 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I
shall come forth as gold.
18:023:011 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not
declined.
18:023:012 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
18:023:013 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul
desireth, even that he doeth.
18:023:014 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many
such things are with him.
18:023:015 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am
afraid of him.
18:023:016 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
18:023:017 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he
covered the darkness from my face.
