Job 23:8-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁸ Behold, I go forward [and to the east], but He is not there; I go backward [and to the west], but I cannot perceive Him;

⁹ On the left hand [and to the north] where He works [I seek Him], but I cannot behold Him; He turns Himself to the right hand [and to the south], but I cannot see Him.

¹⁰ But He knows the way that I take [He has concern for it, appreciates, and pays attention to it]. When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold [pure and luminous].^(A)
