Job 23:9 Context
7There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be deliuered for euer from my Iudge. 8Behold, I goe forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceiue him: 9On the left hand where hee doeth worke, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himselfe on the right hand, that I cannot see him. 10But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11My foot hath held his steps, his way haue I kept, and not declined.
